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:
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.

Additional Beach To Bay Photos on the Web

Browsing through the Runner Triathlete News message board, I noticed that somebody had posted a link of photos taken by a Corpus Christi Caller-Times photographer at this year's Beach To Bay Relay. They appear on the website, "CorpusBeach.com".

Some of the photos include pictures of Houston area runners. They include the following:

+ The winning On The Run team's 5th leg runner, Ramiro Alvarado -- Picture
+ The Houston Striders' Chris Boylan -- Picture
+ NASA astronaut and Seabrook resident Karen Nyberg -- Picture
+ Anchor of the top mixed division team, "The Juice," Vaughn Gibbs -- Picture

Here are some that appeared in a photo gallery at the web site of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times:

+ Houston's Drew Prisner breaking the finishing line tape -- Picture
+ Bayou City Road Runners teammates Suzy Seeley handing off to Jay Hendrickson -- Picture
+ Prisner in the first aid tent at the finish area -- Picture
+ The Houston Striders' Tommy King finishing -- Picture
+ Another Houston Strider, Sabra Harvey, gets first aid care after anchoring their Female Senior Masters team to victory -- Picture

Found and thought I should share!
