2017 Year in Review

66 - Races Run
27 - Races Announced (counting Seabrook as three as there was a race on three days)
  2 - Media (Chevron Houston Marathon and TX State Homeschool XC Meet)
  2 - DNS (10K, Marathon at time of Hurricane Harvey)
  2 - DNF (10M, Marathon)
  3 - Cheering runners on
  1 - Volunteer (Announcing at Barry Blanton's run aid station at Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas)

So basically, I appeared in some way, shape or form at 103 races in 2017.

And, actually, the races run and the races announced could have been a few more.

Honestly, the number was a little elevated this year because of my work northwest of Fort Worth. 

Seven times I stopped to do the Thursday night 5K on the Trinity Trails that was produced by the Cox Running Club. 

Although one other year here recently, I was at 104; therefore, it isn't a record.

36 - Races that were new to me.
11 - Races run in new Texas cities or towns, bringing the total to 137.
  4 - Races run in new North American cities or towns, outside of Texas, bringing that total to 163.

I tried to get to 50 "new races to me" this year to match the number of years old that I turned in January, but going down with a tight piriformis muscle that pulled my pelvis out of line in mid-September limited that some.

Performance-wise, things all went down hill after the 2:06:09 Revel Mount Charleston Half Marathon in Las Vegas the last Saturday in April.

Had a 2:13 and a 2:15 half on pretty flat courses in cold weather in late January and late February, respectively, in Sugar Land and Victoria.

I think the most fun that I had all year was the wazUPwidis 3.25-mile urban run/1,000 stair climb on a very cold morning in Roanoke, Virginia this February with Waverly.

We also had a good time at the seventh annual Cutters 5K in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in late June when we went back to visit my 92-year-old grandmother and her great-grandmother.

Another interesting and fun event was the Dam Night Run 5K in Arkadelphia, Arkanas - a fast downhill 5K.

I would give a Race Director of the Year award to Lauren Stroud, followed closely by Nancy Goodnight.  I ran two races of each of these ladies. 

Lauren does a really good job and just needs to get her help into a routine and gaining the confidence to know what decisions to make - to lessen her load a little bit.  That comes with time and experience.  You owe it to yourself to run one of Lauren's races, if at a minimum because the courses are pancake flat.

Nancy, on the other hand, will make each one of her races uniquely difficult, but she is about the only person that I know that has as much exuberant energy as Nancy is Patty Godfrey.

Good move by Robby Sabban to pick up Patty to announce for his Running Alliance Sport races. 

I know that some people are disappointed I no longer work RAS races, but Patty does an admirable job.  Great voice, a lot of excitement; different approach, but committed to the same type of professionalism and excellence that I seek to create.

I was really fortunate to get an opportunity to handle the finish line for the Houston Half Marathon.  I'm certainly eager to have that chance again in 2018.

And, of course, my most cherished races are the two cross country meets that I do for Sam Houston State University and the two that I do for The Woodlands High School boys program.

They wear me out more than any other race, but the way I see it:  there's only four UIL Region meets (and I get to do one) and there's only eight NXN Regional meets (and the same thing ... I get to do one).

Not really sure what 2018 has in store for me.

Honestly, my energy level is waning. 

And I've been through some situations I wish that I hadn't had to deal with.

I'm certainly excited, though, to support Waverly's debut marathon effort in two weeks.  I will start with her, running the first 5-6 miles, peel the timing device off my bib and then meet her at mile 20 and running her in. 

Because I have a bib in the same race and I start that race, my pacing her is legal and doesn't subject her to a DQ.

My plan to get ready was short-circuited by my injury, but I've finished 54 marathons - and it will be Waverly's day regardless of what the time is on the clock.

If you know of a good race that I should do that is fairly local, please let me know.

I'm certainly partial to races that are new to me and are in places that I've never run before. 

I don't know if I'll get to a race in 400 North American cities or towns or not, but I do hope to make some progress on running a mile in every Texas county (as a race in each is unlikely). 

I got to 106 today with eight in total on this short trip.

And, of course, I continue to look for a reason to not run as many races, but until that improves, as I tell many people, I have nothing better to do (and I need to try and keep the weight in check.)

In the meantime, I'll do my best to encourage you in what it is that you like to do.

If you count me as a friend, I'm honored. 

And more importantly, thank you for being my friend.

Have a great 2018 in just your life in general as well as the things that you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Space City 10-Miler Race Story

HOUSTON -- It was a double danger kind of race morning at Sunday's Space City 10-Miler.

Not only were runners able to see the humidity at the start, but they also felt the heat at the finish line as conditions worsened through the morning -- despite sunny skies.

However, Georgetown's Alfred Kiplagat and Houston's Hillary Montgomery navigated the hexagon-shaped course in times that seemed a bit of a paradox.

Kiplagat, the 28-year-old, who wasn't pushed by runner-up Todd Van Velson, ran the slowest winning time of all 16 Space City 10-Milers in 52:34.7, while Montgomery, the 24-year-old former Texas A&M Aggie and 2016 US Olympic Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, seemed in top form.

Even though Montgomery's margin of victory over Madison Brown - the former University of Houston Cougar - was more than twice that of Kiplagat's.

Her winning time of 56:45.8 was the fourth fastest in the race's history -- one that she holds the course and event record from two years ago in 55:11.8.

Both Kiplagat and Montgomery walked away with $800 each -- $500 for the win from title sponsor One Main Financial and another $300 from Nationwide Insurance for being the first runner at miles 2, 4 and 6.

Van Velson, 33, and Brown, 22, were second overall in 54:27 and 1:00:53, respectively, earning $300 while Luis Armenteros, 45, and Lauren Stroud, 26, were third - taking home $100 each -- in 56:18 and 1:01:55.

It was Armenteros' third show finish to go with a win in 2003, second place in 2004 and masters' victories the last three runnings of the race.

Meanwhile, Stroud has finished on the podium in each of the last five years, including winning the race last October and three consecutive second-place efforts in 2013-2015.

The masters' titles - and $200 in prize money - were won by a pair of Houstonians in Peter Lawrence and Stacy Holden.

Lawrence's winning time of 57:29 was actually the fourth best of nine consecutive finishes, including five 40-44 age group wins in the race's last six runnings, while Holden defended her title -- the fifth women in race history to do so -- in 1:08:17.

Montgomery, Van Velson, Armenteros and Holden were four of nine runners who earned entry into January's Chevron Houston Marathon or Aramco Houston Half Marathon as part of that race's Local Elite Invited Runner program.

Runners who live in a 19-country area surrounding Harris County can earn a free entry at each of the four Houston Area Road Runners Association's (HARRA) Fall Series races if they are the first to finish in a time that beats a pre-determined qualifying standard.

(UPDATE:  Montgomery declined the entry - or lives outside of the area now - and it rolled down to the former Cougar, Madison Brown, according to the Chevron Houston Marathon website.)

Kingwood's Stewart Everett, 51, and Katy's Lynn Malloy, 57, represented the Grandmasters with finishes of 1:05:02 and 1:12:30 -- beating the 1:06:19 and 1:17:06 standards.

Houston's Miguel Lopez, 66, and Sabra Harvey, 68, earned the Senior Grandmasters entries with showings of 1:11:29.7 and 1:11:34.5.

Harvey was a week removed from winning her age group at the USATF Masters 5K Championship in Syracuse, New York in a time of 20:44, which age grades to 99.04%.

The final Local Elite Invited Runner slot went to 70-year-old Ben Harvie, who finished in 1:17:14 -- easily more than two minutes under the 1:19:42 standard.  It was Harvie's sixth age group win in 11 career Space City 10-Miler finishes.

Harvie was one of 43 runners before the race who had finished 10 or more Space City 10-Milers since 2003 -- and another 12 on Sunday finished their 10th race (in 16 runnings of the race).

Runners will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 spots in each of the next three races of the HARRA Fall Series - the Houston Half Marathon, the Fleet Feet Sports HMSA Classical 25K and the Fort Bend Kia 30K.

New Plans for Thanksgiving 2017

I'm pleased to update that I'll be handling finish line announcing and awards duties for this year's 28th Annual YMCA Run Thru the Woods Presented by Entergy.

It is a little bit of a departure from the last few years where I've made a commitment to run with Waverly on Thanksgiving Day.

However, since I have retracted a lot from the 37 races that I announced two years ago, there are some events that I want to remain involved in, especially in my local race community.

I had the pleasure of meeting with race director Roxanne Davis earlier this year to talk about the race.

There was some concern about numbers - and what I thought might be causing them.

I presented Roxanne with a graph of all of the races in the greater Houston area and all of the finishers numbers that I could find.

A year ago, Waverly and I had plans to run the Bay Area Turkey Day 10K for something different.

Nothing against the job that Roxanne and her team did, we just needed a change of scenery -- and we wanted to run five miles or more.

League City, with some local, ongoing road construction, forced the Bay Area race to only have its 5K.

We told the organizers to donate our entries to somebody who could use them and we headed even further south to Lake Jackson.

A fine race -- and one that I ran well in (under an hour in the 10K for the first time in about four years).

I showed Roxanne that Kingwood, I believe, had grown and taken many runners who in the past made the drive to The Woodlands as opposed to going downtown.

I saw the same type of trend in Pearland taking some from Sugar Land.

There were a couple of years that I did handle finish line responsibilities for Roxanne, but the biggest challenge -- and it will be no different -- is the sheer volume of runners that come across the line around 45-60 minutes into the five-mile race.

You simply can't announce them all.

A few years ago, Andy Stewart, one of Houston's most respected race directors and longest in tenure, had asked me to basically announce all of his races -- including Thanksgiving.

Working some of Andy's races, especially, for me, the 30K, has always been a great honor.

To both Roxanne and Andy - and I had been approached by Mark Coleman one year with working the Sheltering Arms 10K, I was consistent in that Thanksgiving Day was for me running with Waverly.

However, this year I think that she'll be reaching the apex of her long run mileage near Thanksgiving in her build-up for the Chevron Houston Marathon -- and she should have (and take) the opportunity to rock it out, if her fitness it there.

There's no more delight in what I do than in announcing the name of your child as they cross the finish line.

The Woodlands, though, is a community that I identify closely with -- and for me to well-represent it on Thanksgiving morning will once again be an honor.

And with a switch in timers, one that I've worked with, and being able to eyeball those results before making my way to the stage to handle the awards, I hope that I can help alleviate some of the issues in the past that the race has had with results messing up the awards ceremony.

In the meantime, I have the Memorial Hermann Ten For Texas coming up in three weeks for the first time ever -- and will have Nike South and Nike Cross for the sixth year this weekend and the weekend before Thanksgiving, respectively.

Great to work with The Woodlands Parks and Recreation Department as well as one of the top men's cross country and track programs in America.

I must say that I'm pretty fortunate.

Outside Assistance - Road Racing

I know that road racing has gotten to a point where there's been a slippery slope of activities - short of course cutting and running with another person's bib - that have become acceptable.

However, there still are rules of competition put forth by USA Track & Field and those coaches of businesses - regardless of how large or small, new or old - should be held to the highest standard in following them.

USA Track & Field Rule 144.3(a)

Pacing in running or walking events by persons not participating in the event, by competitors lapped or about to be lapped, or by any kind of technical device other than those permitted under Rule 144.3(i).

This means coaches - or their running club or training group members with their knowledge - should not be out on the course helping run one of their runners in - one step, one mile or more.

The fact that you're a coach and you put in your Facebook post that you've done this puts in question your ethics -- or lack of knowledge of the rules.

Again, as I've stated, the sport is at a point where runners either don't know these rules or otherwise completely ignore them - because nobody challenges them or holds people accountable to them.

What isn't assistance?

USA Track & Field Rule 144.3(j)

Pace setting by an officially designated person entered in an event for that purpose is permitted, provided such pacesetters start in the event.

So if you're a coach and you want to run with one of your runners, pay for an entry, cross the start line and remove your timing device -- and you're 100% within the rules.

I know this is something Team In Training used to do and I believe that Michael Merlino with Inflight Running definitely still does.

And in this one specific case that I witnessed, it was just one coach of the said group and I wouldn't necessarily personally paint their partners with the same brush.

However, it makes you wonder a bit, especially if the effort results in prize money, an award or a qualification of some sorts.
