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).

About Me

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.

Komen Race for the Cure Course Change

THE RACE IS ON!
September 6, 2005

In response to the recent tragedy on the Gulf Coast, the George R. Brown Convention Center has been turned into a shelter for those in need.

The Komen Houston Affiliate was fortunate enough, with help from the City of Houston, to secure a new Race location starting on Clay and Bagby, and the Oct. 1 Komen Houston Race for the Cure® will continue as planned.

The new route is similar to the 2004 Race route on Allen Parkway, but has been modified to end at the new post-Race party location at Sam Houston Park. All additional updates will be posted on the Komen Houston Affiliate Web site at http://race.komen-houston.org/

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by Hurricane Katrina.
