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.

Bill Dwyer reports ...

That he spoke with triathlete and cancer survivor Bill Crews in Boston.

He stated that the Team Woodlands Rebels group, which includes Tony Allison, Dana-Sue Crews, Les Ellsworth, Lee Harlicker, Geri Henry, Ron Henry, Jim Donahue, Jon Minor, Ann Leoni, Lou Wilson & Nora Wilson, has had a great time this weekend and were pretty excited this morning as the boarded the bus to Hopkinton.

"It will be interesting how everyone does with all the excitement and a predominantly downhill first 15 miles," said Dwyer. "I sure hope they don’t go out too fast. We have discussed it several times over the last few weeks. It's so hard to be patient though."

He said that Bill Crews will report later from Heatbreak Hill where he and Jon Minor’s parents will be cheering.
