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.

Saturday's Apple Blossom Run, Wenatchee, WA

It is around midnight Friday night/Saturday morning, depending on how you look at things, here in Wenatchee, Washington where I just pulled into town for tomorrow's Apple Blossom Run 10K.

What I didn't realize is that this event is part of the Washington State Apple Festival! Just like the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run, runners will start off the Apple Blossom Parade, which will feature almost 140 floats.

And, of course, this is just a stopover before going on to Spokane, Washington, about another two and a half hours east (and almost to the Idaho state line), for Sunday's Bloomsday Run 12K.

It took about four and a half hours to drive here from downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.

And looking at the local logistics, with the parade and everything, tomorrow morning will certainly be interesting. Or rather, later this morning.
