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 Huntsville, Get October ITR Autographed!

Come run the Huntsville Half Marathon on Saturday, October 21, bring your October issue of Inside Texas Running with you and get your cover autographed!

Huntsville's Chris Wilson, a member of the host club, Seven Hills Running Club, is featured on this month's cover in conjunction with his story, "A Nice Little Run In The Desert: Possibly The Toughest Marathon You'll Ever Try".

The story is about his running (with Conroe native and fellow club member Hans Jaegar) the Bataan Memorial Death March earlier this year at the White Sands Missile Range, north of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

If you come up and see me in Huntsville on Saturday, ask me and I'll make sure I introduce you to Chris (or rather, Dr. Wilson - a professor of psychology at Sam Houston State University) -- or you will probably find he and Hans monitoring the course somewhere on the back half of the loop between the Prison and the University.

Oh ... and while you're reading ITR, HARRA's Footprints is smack dab in the middle this month - with pictures from Sarah and articles by Edwin, Jessica and yours truly.
