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.

California Vacation Day 3 Picture Highlights

I got really, really lucky in the picture above. I wanted to try out the new Nikon D60 camera on seeing how well it would pick up something that moved really fast -- like a roller coaster! Guess who that is on the third row of The Giant Dipper? Waverly! (She's just to the left of the top of the white that protrudes up the middle of the care.) Like I said, lucky picture! I didn't even know which car coming through that she was going to be on.

Somewhere along the 17-Mile Drive in Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach, we came upon some sea lions who were simply stretched out and relaxing. Hey, isn't that what vacation is supposed to be all about?

The 18th green of the highest rated Public Golf Course in America: Pebble Beach. Enough said.


This picture scares Dad. Why? It is really a very good picture of a beautiful young woman. Once again, enough said.
