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.

Tuesday, Apr. 10 Evening Run

6.73 miles / 1:13:45 / 10:57 per mile
Vancouver, British Columbia -- Route

Started the run at about 11:40 p.m. Nice and easy run. Wasn't too much worried about time. Just needed to get out to get back to being consistent about logging miles. Nice long 10-block incline after about two miles. Came back across the Burrard Bridge. Ran (slowly) all the way across it. Last summer in the Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon, I walked most of it and it isn't much of a bridge at all. I'll see this bridge again on Sunday.

However, the weather this evening - in the mid 40s, but not cool enough to wear gloves - was more to my liking tonight.

The biggest thought that I had on the run tonight was that I was fortunate enough to be able to run pretty much injury free right now, despite the inconsistency. But nothing is going to help better than dropping weight and increasing the mileage safely. I've been around enough to know better.
