Houston Running: 1/28/06: Team In Training Run The Woodlands 5K Challenge

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: WalkSports.com

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.

Fall & Winter Season Reunion Run 5K and TEAM Challenge - The Woodlands

TEAM Woodlands is inviting our Clear Lake, Sugar Land, Kingwood, Memorial Park, and West Houston teams to attend a friendly competition and reunion January 28. There will be a TNT Team category in this event. Scoring will be the best three times from each group added together. Fastest combined times wins. You must be a fall or winter season participant to score for your team. We will also include a coaches and mentors competition.

The Run The Woodlands 5K has never had over 100 participants. Wouldn't it be cool if Team In Training could be the group to set an attendance record? To make it a little more exciting, we will be adding an alumni category open to all the teams. Will the Rebels run and can they beat our current fundraisers? Mark your calendars for two weeks after the Houston Marathon for some fun competition and to see if coach Bill can actually run.

Hey Zeus said...: If HRB is an RC, we should have everyone back up to run as a team. We could use the same scoring system that is used in High School XC. We would have to have a set number of runners (say top 10) from each club to determine the results. Just a thought.; 11:59 AM
