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.

July 4th! Rodney Hayden in The Woodlands!

Even though Rodney's been in town a couple of times since the Texas Independence Relay, I didn't have the prospect of seeing him perform without any of my family around. (Seems I've turned others in my family into bigger fans than me!)

Sometimes it doesn't pay to let a good secret get away!

Anyway, hoping that Rodney might have been playing Gruene Hall this weekend (instead of Thursday night when I'll be in Kansas City), I did find out that Rodney will be performing at the 11th annual Red, Hot and Blue Festival in The Woodlands on the Fourth of July!

Now if The Woodlands would wisen up and create a Fourth of July race in the morning so that we didn't have to drive to parts known and unknown to run. :)

Oh ... Rodney is also putting together the 1st annual Rodney Hayden Music Festival in McCoy, Texas on Saturday, July 26. One guy on the dance card I heard last January at the River Road Run (12-mile) in New Braunfels - Jason Allen. I think I'll have plans to be there!
