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.

Park To Park Run and The Woodlands Spin for ALS

We're all ready to go bright and early at 6 a.m. for The Woodlands Spin for ALS in the morning at Luke's Locker in The Woodlands.

We will have somebody on at least one bike for 16 and a half hours -- the time it took for Jon Blais in 2005 at Ironman Kona in Hawaii to finish the course after having been diagnosed with ALS.

Come on up to The Woodlands, do Run The Woodlands 5K at 8 a.m. (and you're wondering why I'm going to do Park to Park Run ... probably because it is a HARRA event) and then stop by the store anytime during the day!

Meet Team Timex triathlete Kim Hager, talk road, ultra and trail racing with RRCA-certified coach Bill Dwyer and see how long I can stay on one of the bikes.

I'd like to challenge individuals to donate a certain amount of money -- 50 cents, $1 or more -- for each hour that I can stay on a bike. It could be an hour or it could be 10:42:57 - Kim's time at Kona in 2002!

Have a great weekend no matter what you do -- training, racing at Park to Park or Surfside or just having fun!
