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.

Conroe Courier Column Online

This week's Conroe Courier column from Tuesday is online and can be viewed by clicking here.

My lead for the column, which I thought was pretty good, was "Perhaps next December the weather at the 19th annual Sunmart Texas Trail Endurance Runs will be like Goldilocks' porridge - just right."

It has been a crazy 36 hours for me, and it is why you've seen no running-related posts during that time. Simply because I haven't been able to. Work, eat and sleep plus spending time dealing with issues revolving an October 2008 event.

Yes, this far out. And when it is all said and done, there will be some stories to tell. :)

Waverly and I will be doing the Willis Wildkat 5K on Saturday. We've already paid this week! She'll make a decision if she's going to do the 5K on Jan. 13. If she does, she'll be doing both of the Dec. 22 and Jan. 5 Run The Woodlands 5Ks in preparation.

And I'm thinking about running the Texas Marathon now (although I wanted to blog the entire event through the RunHouston Chronicle blog). Well, maybe I can run it, and Edwin can blog it.
