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.

Paint Me Safely Stubborn :)

I was going crazy. So I went out and walked 4.1 miles, taking it very, very easy.

It was so slow (yeah, I timed it ... force of habit) that it was 1:15:22, but I feel better.

Tomorrow morning, Rick Cook, Dave Smart, Waverly and I will handle the race responsibilities for Run The Woodlands 5K #153. Waverly is actually going to run it. Perhaps I'll head out and join her, as always, for the last bit coming in. (She hasn't been doing a lot so I'll be surprised if she cracks 38 minutes. We'll see. I hope she surprises me!)

One of the Luke's Locker Beat coaches that will be in attendance will be Kimberly Schultz-Hager. Kim, who holds the women's course record and was the 2004 winner of the Astros Race for the Pennant 5K, is a pro triathlete who qualified for the Woman's Olympic Marathon Trials and competed in the Trials in St. Louis in April 2004.

In her pro debut in November 2004 – the Mexico Half Ironman – Kim, who competes for the Timex Multisport team, came in 2nd Overall Female, also producing the fastest female run split time.
