I will be racing at the Mid-South Marathon in Wynne Arkansas on Saturday, don’t worry I’m only doing the half marathon again. We’ll be back late Saturday night and I’ll be volunteering at Run the Mounds. I’m not sure what my role will be, but I’ll be wearing my orange Chicago Marathon hat, so be sure to say hi!
