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.

Weekend Workouts

Pretty quiet around here. Not too much going on.

I have to get my Courier column written sometime before tomorrow afternoon. I won't be going to Jackson, Mississippi for work this week; however, I will travel to Kansas City on Wednesday for a Thursday presentation to a client that we've been doing some work for.

Friday afternoon: An hour on the stationary bike.
Saturday afternoon: 35 minutes on the treadmill (4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1 - five minutes each) and then 45 minutes on the stationary bike.
Sunday afternoon: 80 minutes on the stationary bike. (Trying to get my butt used to some longer time in the saddle.)

The biggest news is getting Waverly ready to go to church camp in Tennessee next week.

I also spoke with my Pastor about our efforts around me running marathons to raise money for Manna Worldwide. We had a good conversation and things should begin kicking up in about two months. The first marathon to tackle, of course, is Marathon 2 Marathon in Alpine.
