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.

Warm-Up Series Winners Notes

The data comes from information that I researched and compiled that appears on pages 34-35 of the February 2005 of Inside Texas Running and is at the following link:
http://www.walksports.com/warmupseries_alltimewinners.htm
---
+ Luis Armenteros' win today in the Koala's Health and Wellness Centers/Luke's Locker 20K allowed him to become just the fourth male to win all three (3) Warm-Up Series races. The others? Joe Flores, David Washburn and Jon Warren.

+ The Armenteros family has 5 wins overall as Luis' sister, Jessica, won the 30K in 1999 and the 20K in 2003.

+ With her overall win today and his Masters win, Laura Bennett and Francisco Perez became the 75th and 76th runners to win a Warm-Up Series race (Overall or Masters) since 1989. (Wins from 1986 to 1988 have not been added as research is not yet complete.)

+ 37 runners have won one title only. 16 have won two (2), 9 have won three (3), 3 have won four (4) and five have won six (6).

+ Christie Lammers' Masters win today gave her a second 20K Masters win, a fourth Warm-Up Series Masters win and 6th win altogether (combined with two open wins, including last year's 20K).

+ Lammers is tied with Donna Sterns and Joy Smith from being one win away in completing the "Super Six" - an overall and Masters win in each of the three (3) Warm-Up Series races. Lammers and Sterns both need an overall 25K win while Smith needs a Masters 25K win.

+ Flores and Washburn have completed the "Super Six" on the men's side.
