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.

Western States 100 -to- Sunmart

Five 2007 Western States 100 lottery winners were on the pre-registered lists through Monday morning, December 4, 2006:

Patrick Perry, Lee's Summit, MO
Ken Childress, Catooga, OK
Meredith Terranova, Austin, TX
Jim Huffman, Salt Lake City, UT
Phil Rosenstein, Brown Deer, WI

Five 2006 Western States 100 finishers were as well:

5. Jim Huffman, Salt Lake City, UT, 19:59:46
7. Andy Jones-Wilkins, Oakland, CA (now Ketchum, ID), 20:04:52
120. German Collazos, Houston, TX, 27:58:04
164. E. Allen Wrinkle, Magnolia, TX, 29:09:25
168. Les Michalak, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, 29:12:59

Through Monday morning, not counting the invited runners, there were 664 runners registered for both the Sunmart 50-Miler and 50K.

"The tally by the end of registration on Friday before the race usually comes to 1,000," said race publicist John Welch. "Some years it has been larger and some have been smaller.

"It does get busy with folks who wait until the last minute, though. So that means around 350+ more could sign-up."
