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.

10 Miles on Sunday ... Heard at Run The Woodlands

Fellow Houston Running Blogger Cassie Cowan and I ran together during the first loop of Run The Woodlands 5K this morning.

I asked her, knowing we both could afford the miles, "Want to do 10 in the morning as a final tune-up for Parkersburg?"
She replied, "I'm not sure that I can. Wait, we're going to the Texans game tonight and I might have a little bit too much to drink."
We continued to joke about things a little bit as we came up along side Sarah Graybeal.
I said, loud enough for Sarah to hear us, "Sarah will run 10 with us in the morning."
Needless to say, Sarah was more than a bit amused.
She goes, "I can't. I'm going to the Dynamo game tonight."
As I took off (to get ahead on only crash and burn a little bit), I joked, "Wow ... you 20-somethings!"

It looks as if we'll do 10 miles sometime on Sunday evening.

If you'd like to come out and do a long run with us, we'd be certainly glad to have the company. BUT ... it probably isn't going to be anything faster than about a 10:45-to-11-minute per mile pace.
