Houston Running: Thursday Night Treadmill

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.

Thursday Night Treadmill

Just widening the advantage over Mr. Dwyer .... another hour on the rolling piece of rubber late Thursday night.

Nice and steady. Felt like about a 10:20 pace - which is better than the 10:40 pace that is on the TIR Pace Predictor. :)

Is pulling out the old orange HRB banner like invoking the old "Luv Ya Blue" days?

K said...: Theme song?? We need a theme song!! Are we going to be decorating the vans??; 7:12 PM

The Warriors bowed their head because they knew that they'd been beat.
Billy laid that golden singlet on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said: "Billy just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, that you'd run and run, yet the Bloggers would surely win."; 7:16 PM

It was 3 o'clock on a Sunday,
The Blogger team shuffled in.
The Warrior team was flanking them
Shiny medals adorning their skin.

Jon said, "Son, can you get me a Gatorade?
I'm not really sure where I am."
Bill said, "This is sad, yet sweet, as we had the fleetest feet,
And Jon doesn't even know who I am."; 11:00 AM
Tiggs said...: LOL! those songs are way too funny.

Karen- Re: van decorating. We should. But I just don't know that I will get to it before we leave. I've got an overflowing plate at work this week.; 1:04 PM
