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.

Can't Keep A Good Thing Down

So, Ok, it's a take on the Alabama song, "Can't Keep A Good Man Down", but you have to love a note like this --

Deer Runners,

Attached is the July club newsletter. When we were discussing starting the newsletter back in January, I had planned on keeping it to 4 or 5 pages. That has proved to be an impossible task. This month's edition is a full 24 pages. We have a pretty active club.

If we missed any results from June, let me know and we will publish them next month.

Bill D.


This ride is fun and will last a lot longer than the first one!

And, yes, Kim, Alabama is one of the all-time country supergroups. I'm sure that they sold more records (they started in the 80s when they were still around) than whatever you have blaring in your headsets. And yes, I can very easily spin to this!
