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.

Montgomery County Triple Fall 2007 Shaping Up!

The Montgomery County Triple is taking off!

Fall '06 - 3 runners (plus two runners/RDs/volunteers)
Spring '07 - 13 runners

We got some nice support from Roxanne Davis at the South Montgomery County YMCA, who listed all three events on the web site for the 18th annual GE Run Thru The Woods. Talk about a heck of an endorsement - and what's very cool is that the creator of it is listed as "friends of the running community". Just how I like it!

I'm reaching out to the City of Conroe Parks and Recreation Department and Mike Lucas of Luke's Locker to make sure that their onboard with what we're doing. And what is that? Encouraging people to support the local events and have some fun with a little endurance challenge.

I've approached Cindy Jones with the Davy Crockett Bear Chase in Groveton to give away a race entry to their April 2008 event to a random finisher of all three races and I'm asking another race director - when they read their e-mail I can change this post - to grant an entry to their October 2008 event for a random finisher of the Spring version of the Montgomery County Triple.

Plus we've been advised by Lance Phegley (who said he doesn't have a vote) to enter our award - three pine cones on a 2x4 - in Runner Triathlete News' annual contest.
