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.

Louisiana Rest Stops Have Wireless!

Greetings from Cajun Country! A miracle sign of progress here.

Yes, Continental cancelled the flight last night at about 10:15 p.m. So, it was off to pick up a rental car from Alamo, go to the Residence Inn in Ridgeland (North Jackson), and get a decent night's sleep.

I got off to a late start (about 9:30 a.m.) after having some breakfast at the hotel and then had to stop to get on a conference call for work. (And I have another one at noon, but I'll be driving for that one.) Right now, I'm located at the rest stop in Louisiana just across the state line off of Interstate 55 from Mississippi.

Looks like I'll be working next week, at least Thursday and Friday, from Kansas City. I could be in Jackson on Tuesday and Wednesday - not sure about that yet though.

Nonetheless, I'll be at Run The Woodlands 5K in the morning. I may run it, but if I do it will be slow and easy.
