Houston Running: Nike+ Truck in The Woodlands

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

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.

Nike+ Truck in The Woodlands

From Luke's Locker - The Woodlands store manager Susie Schreiber,

"We have a great event occurring at Market Street this Saturday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Nike is bringing their Nike+ Truck for you to try out their latest invention for free.

"The Nike + Truck will be in Central Park at Market Street. This is an interactive vehicle in which runners can come try out the Nano Ipod and Nike + shoes. The Ipod receives information from a device that is placed in the bottom of Nike+ shoes. It will read how fast you are moving, tell you how far you have gone and keep you entertained with your favorite music.

"The Nike+ Truck is equipped to let you try out the system for free.

"Come on by and take a test run or walk. If you have any further questions, please contact us 281-419-0326."

And make it a day of it by coming out early and running Run The Woodlands 5K #162 at 8 a.m. at Barbara Bush Elementary.
