Conroe Courier Column Starts on Sunday
A couple of weeks ago, I made a pitch to Conroe Courier Editor/Publisher Jim Fredricks that instead of running an extra wire story in Sunday's sports section, "Why not a running column?"
Montgomery County continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Running, as well as multi-sports, which will be addressed in the column throughout the year, is growing steadily too.
The county has great cross country and track talent in The Woodlands, Willis and Caney Creek, but the individuals that are accomplishing everything from 100-Milers to Ironmans hardly ever receive an ounce of attention.
They'll now get that chance. Plus the column doesn't exist solely to promote Run The Woodlands 5K or The Woodlands Running Club as that would make the column biased.
I'm aware of regular columns that appear in the Brazosport Facts (Bill Shaw) and the Galveston County (The) Daily News (Bernice Torregrossa).
Seven Hills Running Club president Ken Johnson informed me this evening that he had accepted an invitation to write a bi-weekly or monthly column for the Huntsville Item on running after meeting with the Sports Editor Tom Waddill in trying to get a story on local runners doing Sunmart next Saturday.
