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.

Pash and Robinson both do Huntsville Half and Houston 20K!

As I was riding in the HPD cruiser in front of the lead pack (well, the duo of Armenteros and Rocha for much of the race) during today's Koala's Health and Wellness Centers/Luke's Locker 20K, I noticed a couple of runners with yesterday's blue Huntsville Half Marathon T-shirts.

Kingwood's Bill Schroeder ran the 5K in Huntsville yesterday and then the 20K today.

However, Tom Pash and Alton Robinson not only did the Half Marathon yesterday, but they also did the 20K today! (Something crazy like I would do! My kind of runners!)

Humble's Pash, 37, covered the half marathon in 1:45:32 yesterday (8:03/M), but trailed off a little bit in the 20K today with a chip time of 1:50:21.4 (8:54/M). Robinson, 59, who regularly runs the Huntsville Half Marathon, ran the 2005 edition in 2:15:24 (10:20/M) before posting a 2:38:47.5 chip time (12:48/M) earlier this morning.
