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.

5 Original Montgomery County Triple Winners

From left to right -- Andrew Perry, Bill Dwyer, Scott Sexton, Rick Cook and Jon Walk. (Photo courtesy of Debbie Tripp.)

Sexton, Cook and myself earned the Triple by running all three of the events. Perry ran the middle two -- the Run Thru The Woods 5M and the Run The Woodlands 5K #166 -- and was the RD with his cousin, Scott Perry, and City of Conroe Parks and Recreation Department's Michael Cantu.

Dwyer did Run Thru The Woods on Thursday and went the first mile of the City of Conroe Turkey Trot 5K before having his charley horses keep him from going much further. However, he ended up volunteering for the latter two events to also earn the Triple award.

Bill, though, has a signature piece. His middle pine cone has been gnawed down to represent what he finished -- or rather, a DNF. (Bill: Take care of those charley horses so that you can run with your daughter on Marathon Day!)
