Those of us who run seem to always chasing PR's and wanting to qualify for Boston. It's funny that the reason Boston originally required a qualifying time was to limit the number of runners. The end result is that it has significantly increased the number of runners and made it one of the most sought after achievements in recreational running. So much so that very talented runners often feel like a failure when they can't qualify. So much so that people run races with so much stress … [Read more...]

Have you ever been on a run when someone said they were feeling lazy today? Seriously, sometimes runners say this. We can beat ourselves up, almost feeling like a failure or someone not worthy, when we say things that are true but they don't make a lot of sense in the context of what we are doing. Here are some examples: A runner in a group, running in the dark at 5:05am says - "I feel so lazy today". I'm only running the half. After a run someone asked me how far we went. I said … [Read more...]

One of the many things I appreciate about runners is so many of them find the time and a way to make their running a part of a higher cause. Whether it is helping someone get in shape through the Women Run Arkansas program, running in the Race for the Cure or joining the NF Endurance team and making your races count for someone who is living with NF, to so many runners, a run is more than just a run and that is exciting. NF Endurance is a fundraising arm of the Children's Tumor Foundation. … [Read more...]
We're trying something new this year since we've grown into such a fun, diverse group of runners and since we've set as one of our goals to help connect the growing number of running organizations and events in the Conway area.

Thanks to the following companies and events, we've just gone to press to produce … [Read more...]
