Houston Running: Saturday Afternoon 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.

Saturday Afternoon Treadmill

Treadmill, Bally's, The Woodlands
90 minutes from about 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. (wanted to go two hours, but didn't)
Was a comfortable run and read two old running magazines

Earlier today was the Bayou City Classic 10K. More on that later.
Seven Hills Running Club vs. The Woodlands Running Club rematch tomorrow afternoon.
Could we see a Ben Harvie vs. Dan Green matchup in the 60-and-over division? (I heard Dan was pretty excited Wednesday night.)

I talked to Ben and Mary today and they're going to be questionable as tomorrow morning is the first race of the Webster Bicycle Duathlon Series in La Marque. They'll both be there and it will be also the second stage in the Ben Harvie vs. Lisa Tilton-McCarthy weekend challenge. (Lisa wasn't and won't be surprised if Ben makes it to Huntsville for the challenge.)
