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.

And in Colorado today ...

HARRA At-Large Board member Bruce Mansur, 54, finished just outside of the Top 10% overall (228 of 2,053 finishers) at the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon in Colorado. Bruce covered the primarily downhill course in 1:39:29.8, just a bit slower than his 1:35:26.3 finish a year ago.

But Montgomery County made a little bit of an invasion to the area as well.

Conroe's Don Koontz, 53, led the way with a time of 1:46:37 while The Woodlands' Edward Coffey, 65, registered a time of 2:11:12.5 - just off of his 2:10:40.3 showing from last year.

The one runner from The Woodlands that I was most interested in was fellow The Woodlands Running Club member Patrick Morein, 43, who added another state by finishing in 2:12:49.9.

Also from the greater Houston area was Dick Trask of La Porte, who is 74 years young.

Trask posted an almost identical time as he did a year ago. He finished today in 2:02:39.2 while his time last year was 2:02:40.0.
