Houston Running: More from the Rodney Hayden Concert

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.

More from the Rodney Hayden Concert

It's a little blurry at the end of the show, but I promise: I wasn't drinking. (Actually, I was trying to get it in focus with little light around me.)

Even the little ones were mesmerized by Rodney's performance. (This picture opportunity was just too cute to pass up!)

Ashley and Jesse from Copperfield. Jesse went to high school with Rodney in Pleasanton and didn't know then of Rodney's musical abilities. A really nice, cute couple. (Early in the first set, we recognized that we were ones of the few who knew all the words to his songs.)

During the first set. David Whitbeck playing the guitar on the right had a couple of groupies oogling him during the second set. Rodney has written a lot of songs with David's father, Bill.
