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).
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.
I rode this evening for about 45 minutes in my subdivision. I can enjoy the sport with a nice piece of equipment like this. The guys - Ken and Herb - at Bike Lane were great in making sure I understood everything, including the shifters for the gears. Sweet stuff!posted by WalkSports.com | 6:55 PM

Oooh, eye candy. Serious stuff Jon.
sweet bike. very nice!!!!
now be sure to take of the reflectors so you don't look like a total newb! hehehe!
Awesome!
Don't take off the reflectors just yet. Knowing your crazy schedule, I bet you'll be riding in the dark from time to time. Safety first!
After doing the Moonlight Bike Ramble Sunday morning, I found that downtown out to the Galleria and back are great places to ride in the middle of the night.
I did that, though, with the neighborhood cruiser (as Bill likes to call it). It was different, interesting and a little challenging (Edloe bridge over 59 and the Westpark bridge past mile 14 of the marathon course).
