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.

Waverly to run in Roaring Spring, PA Liberty Days 5K

After going with her father to events in Washington, D.C., Little Rock, Arkansas, Alpharetta, Georgia, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Lander, Wyoming and most recently, Leadville, Colorado, 12-year-old Waverly Walk will compete in her first out-of-state event at Saturday's Garver YMCA Liberty Days 5K in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania.

(Technically, she did participate in the Marine Corps Marathon Kids 1-Mile Fun Run in Rosslyn, Virginia in October 2004.)

Taking it "nice and easy" - as he told the Altoona Mirror - in the same event after his 12th place finish last Wednesday at the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta, former Woodbury, Pa. resident and Northern Bedford HS and St. Francis College runner Brian Sell will be participating in an event in which he won his first road race as a 19-year-old.

Sell is currently in training for November's U.S. Olympic Trials to be held in November in New York City, New York.
