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.

Updated HARRA Runner of the Season Standings

HARRA conducts a fall and spring race series (listed here) for all HARRA members.

Each series consists of races in which members score valuable points, although the relays count only for club and team competition.

Runner of the Season point totals are kept in the Open, Masters, Veterans, Women's, Masters Women's, and Veterans Women's Divisions for individual runners (no club affiliation is required).

Runners receive a percentage score for each race based on the WAVA standard times for that distance. A runner's final standing is determined by adding his or her top 3 races together.

Prize money - $3,050 per season in up to as many as 9 positions deep in the Men's Masters and Veterans categories - is determined on an annual basis by the HARRA Board of Directors.

Below are the top 10 standings in each category after the Houstonian Lite 30K. Those runners with asterisks before their name must run the Chevron Houston Marathon to have three (3) races to qualify for prize money, according to the rules stated above.
