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.

Obama: 'Redistribution of Wealth' is the Goal

I've pretty much stayed out of the fray, but this primarily is why my vote on Friday went to McCain.

http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/10/27/obama-2001-radio-interview-bombshell/

According to the interview:

- Obama wants to redistribute the wealth in this society.
- He wants/needs to reinterpret the constitution to do it.
- The founding fathers are in the way of this goal.
- The only concern is how to do the redistribution, not whether to do it.

Oh and...

- the Warren court, arguably the most liberal court in the last fifty years or so, wasn't radical enough!

I lived in Chicago for 22 years. He was left of left field then and still is. Just hiding it very well with the help of most of our broadcast and print journalists. I don't think NY Times will not go out of business any time soon but I'll certainly not buy any of their publications with what's left of my money after Barack gets done with it.
