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.

Run The Woodlands 5K Challenges

As previously noted, the Seven Hills Running Club/Houston Running Bloggers Challenge at Run The Woodlands 5K will occur in just over two (2) weeks on Saturday, August 12, 2006. Seven Hills Running Club, based in Huntsville, is approaching a possible all-time club record turnout of nearly 40!

On the calendar already for the second race of 2007 -- January 27th -- is the Reunion/TNT Challenge.

Directed last year by TNT Team Woodlands coach Bill Dwyer, 43 Team in Training runners from around the greater Houston area showed at Run The Woodlands 5K on January 28, 2006 to help push the all-time event finishers mark to 127!

"Last year we promoted it from about Thanksgiving," Dwyer said. "Maybe (this year) we will beat last year's turnout."

He added though, "And, of course, we will challenge WoodlandsFit again!"
