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.

New! New! New!

On the RunHouston Chronicle blog, I shared with everyone earlier about the new ultramarathon scheduled for July in Fort Worth -- the El Scorcho Run.

Here are some other new things that I'll be communicating more on shortly:

1.) New Marathon - Davey Crockett Bear Chase, Groveton, TX, April 12, 2008

It will be Texas' 14th road marathon and is being organized by Steve and Paula Boone in conjunction with the Trinity County Chamber of Commerce.

2.) New Marathon Series - Texas Marathon Triple

Run the Texas Marathon in Kingwood, the Surfside Beach Marathon and the Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon and you'll get a shirt and a racing jacket from Puma.

3.) New Half Marathon - Angie's Half Crazy! Half Marathon, UH-Clear Lake, April 6, 2008

Race director Angie Binetti heads up Bay Area Fit. Information for a story on the RunHouston Chronicle blog has been requested from the organizer and sponsor(s).
