Houston Running: We're Here in San Francsico / Golden Gate Bridge

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: WalkSports.com

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.

We're Here in San Francsico / Golden Gate Bridge

Ms. Waverly gets a welcome at SFO

Its been a good day so far here in San Francisco. It is currently 4 p.m. and we've already been to the Golden Gate Bridge and walked it over and back. We've checked in to our hotel in downtown, the Marriott Courtyard on Second Street.

When I didn't have my frequent flyer number on my account, I made sure at the gate that it was in the system. The gate agent asked how many I had traveling and I told her just the two of us. We were both upgraded to first class. We watched the first part of my Father's Day gift -- Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The weather is incredibly wonderful and as you can tell from the second picture, the sun is out and the sky is high with just a few clouds.
