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.

December Reader Participation

The holiday season is upon us. Less than four (4) weeks until Christmas and 48 days to the Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Half Marathon or as Waverly calculated this morning before school - 1,152 hours as of 7 a.m.

I'd like for each of you that read this blog on a regular basis to consider participating in the following exercise sometime in the month of December.

I'd like to know 1.) what your top 10 events were in 2005 and this may be a combination of how you performed as well as how the event was managed (use whatever scoring system you would to rate these!), 2.) what one person - or more than one, if necessary - inspired you to achieve more this year or to perservere or endure more as a runner and 3.) what are some of your goals for 2006.

Please send me an e-mail at walksports(at)aol.com when you've had the chance to complete this - and there is absolutely no rush!

Thank you - the reader of this blog - for making my running year much more enjoyable and the enormous number of friends and acquaintances that I've made as a result of putting it together for all of our mutual benefit!
