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.

FOTRC and Ten For Texas, November 15

(This message will go out in eDeerTracks tomorrow and clubs/coaches this weekend. --JW)

Friends of the Running Community realizes that the change of Ten For Texas from this Saturday to Saturday, November 15 has thrown a curve into the racing plans of many.

Ten For Texas is a very well done race that represents most of our hometowns to the rest of the greater Houston area running community.

The bottom line is that it *is* one of our hometown races.

While many of you may be heading to participate in what will prove to become Texas' largest marathon and half marathon, Friends of the Running Community invites you to join us in volunteering to man a water stop during Ten For Texas before you drive to the Expo in San Antonio (for the Rock 'N Roll Marathon), pick your packet up and rest for the race.

And in case this pleasant appeal wasn't enough for you to consider helping us, we have an additional caveat:

Volunteer to work a Ten For Texas water stop with Friends of the Running Community *and* run all three races of the Montgomery County Triple (to be announced) and yes, your pine cone award will have four (4) pine cones!

Please help us continue to give everything we can back to our local running community.
