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.

Waverly logs a pair of 2.1-milers

In her preparation for Saturday's Klein HS Bearkat Bash 5K, Waverly and I went out for a 2.1-mile brisk walk on Monday evening before I came here to Bloomington, Indiana. We covered the distance in 31:24.66 - a 14:58/pace, which included her doing a slow jog the last half of a mile.

Talking to her on the telephone at home on Tuesday evening, she covered the same 2.1 miles this evening with her Mom and slow jogged the entire distance without stopping! She did this in 29:30 - a 14:03/pace.

Before her last 5K at Run The Woodlands #136 two weeks ago, she tried to approximate the race on Wednesday before doing a shortened brisk walk on Thursday and completely resting on Friday. On that 5K, she took her time from 43:57 on August 13th down to 42:43!
