[Little Rock / Hot Springs, AR, Mar 23, 2024] The benefit of our long day yesterday was that we had much less driving to do today. Our first stop was Arkansas’ capital, Little Rock, just 2 hours away. There were two attractions here I wanted to see – the William J Clinton Presidential Library and the Arkansas State Capitol.

As part of my half-marathon training (I am hoping to complete the San Diego rock-and-roll half marathon in early June), I am building up to the 13.1-mile distance over a series of long runs, each one a couple of miles longer than the other. Sunday’s… Read More
