Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

Name:
Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Wednesday Night Run in Bloomington

After making the post below, I got outside and took advantage of the 64 degrees weather here in Bloomington, Indiana.

I covered 6.6 miles in 1:16:47.55 - not the world's fastest pace; however, I was running a little bit in the dark and through one stretch of construction. 37:56.55 out and 38:51.00 back - 3.3 miles out and back with a 6:15.29 stop at a convenience store to get a 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade.

I'm staying on the west side of Bloomington along state highway 37. I headed east on 3rd street, which turns into Richwood St. It is a little bit of a hilly area into downtown Bloomington. Richwood runs by the courthouse on the downtown square and then dead-ends into Indiana St. -- on the west side of the Indiana University campus.

I then headed north on Indiana St. to 12th St. where I turned it around and headed back.

Good run, nice temperature, 6+ miles ... I'll take it! Home to Houston tomorrow. :)

My little brother went to IU for his bachelors. SO I had several opportunities to visit him there. It is a very pretty, woody, hilly campus. Enjoy!
