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.

Bill's Texian Road Warriors Note

Texian Road Warriors,

Check out TIR Race Director Jay Hilscher's race report from this past weekend's (Houston) Half Marathon. Jay was 11th overall and 3rd in his age group with a 1:15:38 with no warm-up at all ... not the best way to start a race, as he mentions in is report.

His report can be found at http://texasindependencerelay.blogspot.com/.

I'll be sending out regular updates about this year's effort to beat the Battleing Bloggers. While Juliee might be a little bit slower I think everyone else might be a bit faster this year, more than enough to make up the 42 minutes they beat us by.

New this year -

We have two flags to carry the first mile and the last mile
We'll have uniforms available and a few things that I can't mention since I copied Jon with this e-mail

My response:

It was good to see Greg and Gena Alvarez, Scott and Tarrah Meyer, Doug Spence and Kim Hager and her daughter, Hanna, all on Sunday.

Two flags is nice, Bill. We're bringing two teams to the party.

John Laskowski, kick butt in Florida this weekend!

Jon

(Of course, Juliee will be delivering her and her husband's second child soon and John Laskowski will be competing in Ironman Florida tomorrow morning.)
