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).

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.

Wade takes 2nd at Crim 10M on Aufdemberge's Home Course

Calling it his "worst race of the year" on his blog, Houston's Sean Wade, 40, finished second to Michigan's own Paul Aufdemberge on Saturday, August 26th at the Crim Festival of Races 10-Miler in Flint, Michigan.

"My legs were just dead," said Wade, who covered the 10 miles in 52:00. "Long runs are taking there toll and I worked out too hard the Tuesday before the race."

He was a minute and 26 seconds behind the 41-year-old Aufdemberge, who hails from Redford, Michigan.

Tatyana Pozdnyakova, the 51-year-old from Ukraine who won this year's Freescale Austin Marathon, won the women's Masters crown in a time of 59:00.

Three (3) other Houstonians participated in the 10-Miler including HARRA member Teresa Bracy (1:48:35), Greg Kuchar (1:27:27) and Walter Wrye (1:56:56). Baytown's Michael Catt ran the 8K in 43:51.
