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.

The Texas Independence Relay at Hood to Coast

I would recommend that you check out TIR co-race director and founder Jay Hilscher's race report of last weekend's Hood To Coast. It can be read here!

If I haven't gotten to know Jay and his wife, Joy, a little bit and realize that TIR is going to be a success based on their efforts thus far, I would be impressed by the fact that they went and participated on a team (and maybe they have in the past too) to see and confirm what they may or may not be able to tweak with their event.

What Jay didn't tell you in the report is that the Boca Raton, Florida-based team that they ran on, the "Slug Hunters", won the Mixed Submasters division in 21 hours, 28 minutes and 19 seconds - a 6:32 per mile pace and a 43-minute, three-second advantage over the "Komodo Dragons" from Holladay, Utah.
