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.

Run The Woodlands 5K #216 Race Report

Waverly and I did this simply to get ready for her to be able to run me in next Sunday at the Chevron Houston Marathon.

However, her leg started to bother her.

Mile 1 - 12:29.44
Mile 2 - 13:59.29
Mile 3 - 13:30.03
Last .1 - 1:03.13
Total - 41:01.89

Mick Long and company were there running the race for Luke's Locker.

Among those seen in attendance included Wayne Rutledge, Vincent Attanucci, Karen and Tim Bowler, On The Run assistant manager Vera Balic (guess my Fortitudes weren't in yet), longtime Run The Woodlands regular Lloyd Swanson, Nora and Lou Wilson (we got passed by Lou as he's coming back off a four-month injury) and I met Sheila Carmody and Bill Travis for the first time.

Event #293. I'm catching up with Ken Johnson.

More from Mobile, Alabama today or tomorrow as I hope to get state/province no. 25 to be a "completer" on half2run.com.
