December Reader Participation: Sarah Graybeal, Houston
I always look at "Sarah Graybeal, Houston" and wonder why it isn't Clear Lake or Webster.
Sarah would be the first to tell you that, outside of her photography perhaps, she hasn't made any major waves in the running world. However, I can tell you that I knew of Sarah ever since the marathon - even though it was later that I met her online here in "Bloggersville", as Steve Schroeder called it, and then later at the Space City 10-Miler with Lisa and Edwin Quarles.
Even though I heard it in the race before, I distinctly remember being in that stretch on the marathon course once you pass Memorial Park and before you get off on the off ramp to Shepherd that turns over to Allen Parkway. All I could hear is "Go Sarah!" I mean I heard it a lot! I was worrying about staying with 82-year-old Walt Washburn of Vienna, Virginia (who, by the way, is signed up to run the Houston Marathon again in six (6) weeks.) and everyone is cheering for Sarah.
Sarah's responses for her top 10 events and goals for 2006 can be found at the bottom of this post on her blog, saroy.net! (Sarah, thanks especially for your work on the RRCA National Convention '06 website!)

Technically I'm Houston. My address is Houston. I think I'm on the city line -- literally! I guess it's more specific to say Clear Lake or Webster though. :)
As for the marathon, well, it turns out that if you wear a big sign on your chest that says "Go Sarah," people will read it throughout all 26.2 miles!! :)
mine is up :)
