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.

Stu's Country Mile 5K Car Pool: Fourth of July

Here's the deal: My truck can comfortably seat five. I'm planning on going to Centerville to run the event for the second time ever.

Mr. Cook has grabbed seat No. 2 and has, in fact, called "shot gun". (Well, Waverly will probably sit in the middle of the front seat, come to think of it.)

If you want to go run the event on the Fourth of July, have breakfast in town afterwards, and then drive back, please let me know ASAP. First come, first served. I promise you that the Stu's Country Mile experience will be one that you'll never forget.

I think Kim Hager should go with us. I'm not sure that they've ever seen a woman run that fast in that town.

Bill should too. It might give him a chance to put one on the "Jon vs. Bill" scorecard on his blog. If he goes and runs it, perhaps I'll announce the San Antonio option that I've presented him.

If he doesn't, well, it might be off the table. :)

Isn't a great to be in a position to hold a few of the cards!
