Told the group tonight there will be no track workout next week. I have to get ready for the race and believe most of the group will be running the race the next morning. Sign up for the race at either arkansasrunner.com or come by Easy Runner.

I hope people will consider running this race. I have been around a few races and for a group of people that have never done a race. They are working real hard to impress the runners. The timing should be right for the turning of the leaves and course is different than running on city streets. You c...

It is always exciting to watch the elites crossing the finish line in 13:40 +- a few seconds. Yet the real fun comes in watching the desire of the average runner trying to...
