Hey guys Casey here...I've got one last interview to put up before the weekend.
Jordan Hamric - One of Preston's top runners over the past few years, Jordan has had tremendous success in Cross Country and Track. Last year she went 11:01 for the 3200m. at the State Meet to put her as the #4 fastest of all time. Pretty impressive stuff.
Now just so you know I talked to Jordan about what picture she wanted me use for the interview. She said she was going to message me and let me know which one she approved of. Alas, the message went astray, and I was forced to pick the picture that I thought captured Jordan's spirit the best. You just really can't leave these things in my hands. Thank you facebook!

New Interviews!
Hey guys Casey here....I've finally put up a few interviews that I've been sitting on. We lost internet access here for a few weeks when Josh crushed his wireless card in his hand like the Incredible Hulk because it was acting up. But a quick trip to the land of Wally World for a new wirless card and we're back in the business of stealing the internet from the people downstairs. I just wanted to thank Alex and Hallie for sending us back some cool responses and we have one with Jordan Hamric that I'll have up tomorrow. Just check out the following links:
Hallie Portner - University star runner who lead her team to the first ever University Women's state title.
Alex Dent - Superstar of the South from Hurricane High school who is quickly turning herself into legend.
Enjoy.

Running Evolved.
Hey guys Casey here...I found a pretty cool video to check out. This is the next step in the Evolution of Running - it's called Parkour, or Free Running. You can actually see a pretty good example of it in the latest James Bond movie, Casino Royale. The bad guy who did all the free running at the beginning of that movie was actually one of the co-inventors of the sport.
This guys is pretty awesome - could you imagine running against this guy in a race and he's doing back flips over your head and off cars. I like the part where he's flying through the trees like Tarzan.

Changes.
Hey guys Casey here....as you can see we've got a new look to the main page of RuntheArb. I'm currently working on the links at the top to make sure we have pages for everything (so far the message board still works). I wanted to make things a little more interactive with the main page and allow more people to contribute articles and such.
What I would like to see on the front page is many different runners/coaches around the state posting arctiles on the front page that people can comment on. I figure if we can get some of the better runners around the state coming in to contribute something maybe once a week (or as much as they want) it would make for a much more well rounded News Page. It would be awesome to see someone like Josh Simpson commenting on the races he's recently run, or Jason Pyles talking about his marathon training, or Megan Metcalfe talking about her running lifestyle, or W...well being W. I think it's a great way to open the webpage up so that many different people can take part in it, and we can get the views and opinions of a varied amount of runner types from around the state. I'm going to be chatting with some people and seeing if they want to be a part of it, and if it's something you think you'd like to take part just shoot me an email at caseybatey@yahoo.com and we'll talk.
