Houston Running: Changes ... but good ones!

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: WalkSports.com

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.

Changes ... but good ones!

If you're reading this, you've been extended an invitation to do so -- and thank you for understanding.

Even though we don't have an upfront and center link on the Chronicle web site any more with their re-design, I'm going to try and push all of the local, area news to the RunHouston Chronicle blog.

Otherwise, the rest here will just be about what I'm doing and the things that I'm involved in -- whether it be running, volunteering or whatever. Look forward to seeing you out at an event soon!

Is anybody running anything this weekend? Klein is hosting its annual Bearkat Bash 5K (miss the 10K) while Sugar Land will see the 5K for Huntington's Disease Society of America.

I see the Kolache Krunch 5K in Caldwell for Saturday. (Has anyone ever done this?)

My next race will be Huntsville in October. Then probably the 25K, Sunmart, and Houston.

There's something going on in March, but I just can't remember what it is. I'll think of it.; 7:15 PM
