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).

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.

The Woodlands RC defeats Seven Hills RC at RTW 5K #179

What a great day it was! A great turnout - and effort - by both clubs!

The audited results now show that 54 TWRC runners finished and 49 Seven Hills Running Club members did. (This means that the top 49 runners score.)

When the 98 runners are ranked 1 to 98 and the points are added cross country style, The Woodlands Running Club had 1,871 points and the Seven Hills Running Club had 2,980 to give TWRC the win.

Today was the third largest turnout in Run The Woodlands' eight-year history. The previous highs are as follows:

394 - Run The Woodlands 5K #165, November 11, 2006 - "The Hans Race"
175 - Run The Woodlands 5K #159, August 12, 2006 - "Seven Hills beats HRB"
136 - Run The Woodlands 5K #179, June 9, 2007 - "TWRC defeats Seven Hills"
127 - Run The Woodlands 5K #146, January 28, 2006 - "Team In Training Competition"

Of course, the "Hans Race" had many walkers that pushed the overall attendance in the neighborhood of 600.

What's interesting is that Bill and I have had the opportunity to directly have our hands in the other three races that cracked the 100 finishers barrier! We've been very fortunate to be blessed with a lot of friends that love the sport. :)
