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).

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.

Finally: A Decent Race Day Picture!

Yes, that is me heading down the stretch at today's David's Dream Run 5K. Bill typically knows that I don't like my picture taken; however, I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it!
...
Bill said I had the best "running" form [thanks Quarles for the correction there] among Katy, Karen and Ken below. I think it isn't hard to have bad form when you can barely get your foot off the ground. ;)
...
Of course, the best race picture is any one with a pretty woman who just happens to be running along with me. (I wonder why there's not many of them that exist ... lol)

Seven Hills Running Club members Ken Johnson (VP), Karen Felicidario, Katy Lampson (Secretary) and Sara Lange.

ugh....if you can't run on your own then don't enter a race. It's a hindrance to other runners.
uh...do you mean running form?

I don't know? Maybe you should kick your right foot out a little. :)
