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).

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.

Incriminating Photos are Online!

Karen Thibodeaux's photos are online from both the Houstonian Lite 30K and the Chevron Jingle Bell Run.

Waverly's Jingle Bell Run photos are here. (I like the high step on the second picture and I love the air time on the third one -- awesome! The fifth one she clearly has her eye on the prize and the sixth one is just too cute -- checking her -- err, my -- watch on Allen Parkway! On the seventh one, she's slow moving a bit, but finds a stride in the last one seeing Sarah!)

Mine from the 30K are here and, for maximum laughter opportunities, the ones with JoePa! from the Jingle Bell Run are here.

HRBers at the 30K are as follows: Joe Breda, Holden Choi, Steve Bezner, Jennifer Kim and Dave Smart.

I took the one where she's checking her watch -- and as I clicked the shutter I remember laughing in my head and thinking "like father like daughter!" :)
