Update: The Morris County Sheriff's Office says their manhunt is over and the suspect is in custody.
The Morris County Sheriff says the manhunt started last night off of Highway 11 near Daingerfield State Park.
Witnesses say the Morris County Sheriff's Office, the Hughes Springs Police Department, and the Lone Star Police Department were all at the scene.
The Morris County Sheriff says the search stems from an incident that happened late Friday night. Three men were driving from Daingerfield State Park to Cason. In the car, one of the men took out a knife, and started stabbing the other two men.
When the car stopped, the accused stabber got out of the car and ran.
Morris County authorities have already found the knife they believe belonged to the man. Their search for the suspect continued Saturday morning after a witness saw someone matching his description.
The suspect's name and description have not been released, but he is from Marion County. The two stabbing victims, also from Marion County, were hospitalized. One has already been released, while the other has injuries that are not expected to be life-threatening.

That's being posited by two reports circulating the Interweb.
You can't deny that there is a massive push to create everything and anything that is gluten-free.
There is also a push for restaurants to make gluten-free items available on menus for customers.
So that certainly makes it trendy. And what is trendy can be profitable.
But does it make it a scam? No, not necessarily.
Celiac disease is a real thing. According to the Mayo Clinic, Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction produces inflammation that damages the small intestine's lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption).
There is no denying that more people could discover that they too have celiac disease, if they learn about it from friends, media, etc.
But I will relate a story which made me think of asking this potentially dangerous question.
While living in Scottsdale, Arizona, I worked part-time as a barista at a Coffee Bean. There were occasions when we would run out of items, or an order wouldn't get placed on time and we had to let our customers know.
One particular morning (when we were at our busiest), I worked the register on the day we were out of Soy Milk. Circa 2006, this was a big deal. So it was up to me to let the customer know, "that soy latte you just ordered isn't gonna happen."
Now as I mentioned, we did a lot of soy latte and chai tea business at our store. I had figured on many folks walking out, saying I just can't have my morning caffeine fix, and taking their business to the nearest Starbucks.
It turns out, each person who had ordered their soy-something or other, ended up saying, "that's okay. Just make it non-fat milk."
If you're lactose intolerant...you're not making that adjustment. You're likely walking out the door, and taking your money elsewhere. But, apparently these customers believed they could live with the "slightly less healthy" option of milk product.

Oracle Goes with Own DB, SPARC and UNIX
In Munich, Wednesday, March 10, Oracle announced its upcoming strategy for the Sun takeover: the new couple will now sell complete packages and, next to Oracle's database, further develop Solaris along with Sun's SPARC and Flashfire server technologies.
Managing director of Oracle Germany, Juergen Kunz, described the situation at Oracle, which had some time to ferment after the European Union's investigation of the takeover, as such: language inside the company includes words like "pregnancy" and "bringing up baby." Sun brings a "totally new dimension." The portolio is "unique" and "no other company can provide the same." Dermot O'Kelly, Oracle's vice president for hardware in Europe, put the situation in concrete terms with the new "Oracle Stack."
Oracle Wrap
The stack starts on the hardware side with storage, servers and virtual machines under the motto "Complete, open, integrated," continues with operating systems and databases and goes to middleware and applications. The message is clear: the more a customer buys an integrated system from Oracle, the better the results. Existing infrastructure elements can even be integrated.
O'Kelly was proud of the first products to be whipped up in the mix of Oracle and Sun competencies. The Bolide Exadata v2 first announced in September, 2009 and a database machine with Sun hardware and Oracle software should give IBM a run for its money. The hardware VP feels that Oracle will "stir up the market" in the future with the combined products.
Rolf Kersten, marketing manager at Sun Microsystems, outlined what it all should look like. Oracle will no longer just consider itself first in databases, but also in the UNIX server market. Oracle wants to invest more than Sun previously in the Solaris "technology diamond" and SPARC processors. Even the x86 machines will be further developed as elements of integrated systems as well as freestanding solutions. All hardware will be optimized for the Oracle database, for which the company is promising large performance gains.
MySQL? Yes, but...
Asked by Linux Magazine Online if the same sort of strategy exists for MySQL setups, for example, Kersten, who has been at Sun for 12 years, responded with "yes," but only after repeated questioning. His first responses included words like "third-party" and "certification." Finally he committed to the statement, "MySQL ultimately belongs to the inhouse products." Until further notice, let the answer to the MySQL question be interpreted as "yes, but..."
Insiders believe that Oracle will deploy its own database and MySQL in different segments and therefore not get into an internal rivalry. These sources don't consider Oracle's MySQL coming into much play in the high-end segment. Other observers see parallels between Oracle's Sun acquisition and that of SUSE by Novell: a license-oriented enterprise pulls in another open-source-oriented one and behaves awkwardly as a consequence.
The event did unfortunately reveal that Oracle is unlikely to include Linux or open source as strategic advantages in the marketplace, even though the company quite recently maintained that it understood the open source principle better than did the European Commission. Open standards did deserve mention, but it's more likely that the open source divisions with MySQL, OpenOffice and the free Java components will continue to get niche status. Commitments to the projects are nevertheless real.

The "Made in Michigan" movement has been going on for years, but one local business woman is going to a new level to keep consumer dollars in the state.Tricia Auten founded "Keep the Money in the Mitt," an organization with the goal to keep consumer dollars in the state, by spending them at Michigan-based businesses on Michigan-made products. Auten got the idea after starting "Mystique Boutiques" six years ago, which sells goods from many local artisans.They ask that consumers take a pledge to spend their money on local products. With their right hand raised in the air, to look like the state, consumers repeat after Auten, "I promise to change my consuming habits to include purchases from as many Michigan-based businesses as possible!" "We want it to be a ubiquitous statement," Auten says. She hopes that if people take this pledge, it will help young consumers realize the importance of supporting local businesses, so they will keep their money in the state.As part of the on-going effort to expand local businesses, "Keep the Money in the Mitt" also hosts "Mitt Mobs," a flash mob that aims to get more people to take the pledge.The next mob will be at the Royal Oak Farmers Market on Wednesday, October 3 at 7 p.m. To register to participate in the flash mob and to learn the dance, visit the "Keep the Money in the Mitt" website.

-Roll onto insides of wrists and the sides of your neck for immediate absorption
WARNINGS:Our essences are generally recommended for everyone. Please note the following with regard to the usage of pure essences and essence blends and their possible effects on the skin: the susceptibility of persons to pure essences and essence blends varies from individual to individual. Occasionally, susceptible individuals can experience a rash, desensitization or a temporary discoloration of the skin in the areas where the pure concentrated essences have been applied. Sun exposure greatly increases the sensitivity of the skin towards certain essences; therefore, we recommend that the use of essences should be limited to those occasions when sun exposure is minimal.

I have used this product for over 35 years!
Now I can't get "my scent" Chinese Flowers,
which was discontinued for many years & then
recently brought back again...now it's gone
AGAIN?! I, too, am very unhappy and disappointed
w/ the company. Where is the company loyalty to it's
customers? I have used Kiehl's products for years
& now have to wonder what product they might
discontinue next. Just shows you the "corporate"
mentality at work here. Very sad! Jul 26, 2012
ASAP? Sep 19, 2012
I like the little bottles of old. I really miss going to the old Kiehl's where you could try all 120 scents which were on an old coffee table in little labeled bottles. Men in white coats would mix them if you wanted so you could have your own signature scent. My all-time favorite was lilac. Will you bring back any of the old scents??? Jul 15, 2012
We don't need comments passed on to the development team.....they don't make the decisions on eliminating products..they develop products. How about the head of your company explaining why he/she responding to our frustrations?...Please address the problem not sell us something called Aromatic Blends. Please be honest and straight forward with your answers. Your products have always been excellent and if Aromatic Blends is so good it will sell itself.

Turkish official: US Embassy bomber had previous terror conviction, took part in hunger strike
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- The suicide bomber who struck the U.S. Embassy in Ankara spent several years in prison on terrorism charges but was released on probation after being diagnosed with a hunger strike-related brain disorder, officials said Saturday.
The bomber, identified as 40-year-old leftist militant Ecevit Sanli, killed himself and a Turkish security guard on Friday, in what U.S. officials said was a terrorist attack. Sanli was armed with enough TNT to blow up a two-story building and also detonated a hand grenade, officials said.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that police believe the bomber was connected his nation's outlawed leftist militant group Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C. And on Saturday DHKP-C claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on a website linked to the group. It said Sanli carried out the act of "self-sacrifice" on behalf of the group.
The group called itself "immortal" and said, "Down with imperialism and the collaborating oligarchy." But it gave no reason for attacking the U.S. Embassy. The authenticity of the website was confirmed by a government terrorism expert who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with rules that bar government employees from speaking to reporters without prior authorization.
Turkey's private NTV television, meanwhile, said police detained three people on Saturday who may be connected to the U.S. Embassy attack during operations in Ankara and Istanbul. Two of the suspects were being questioned by police in Ankara, while the third was taken into custody in Istanbul and was being brought to Ankara.
Amid gun-control debate, White House releases photo of Obama shooting clay targets
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two days before President Barack Obama's first trip outside Washington to promote his gun-control proposals, the White House tried Saturday to settle a brewing mystery by releasing a photo to back his claim to be a skeet shooter.
Obama had set inquiring minds spinning when, in an interview with The New Republic magazine, he answered "yes" when asked if he had ever fired a gun. The admission came as a surprise to many.
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," Obama said in the interview released last weekend, referring to the official presidential retreat in rural Maryland, which he last visited in October while campaigning for re-election. Asked whether the entire family participates, the president said: "Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there."
Obama never mentioned skeet shooting prior to that interview.
The White House photo released Saturday is dated Aug. 4, 2012. The caption says Obama is shooting clay targets on the range at Camp David. Obama is seen holding a gun against his left shoulder, his left index finger on the trigger and smoke coming from the barrel. He is wearing jeans, a dark blue, short-sleeved polo shirt, sunglasses and earmuffs.
AP PHOTOS: A look at US presidents holding guns
The White House has released a photo of President Barack Obama firing a gun, two days before he is set to travel to Minnesota to discuss gun control. It shows Obama shooting at clay targets on the range at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, where he says he engages in the sport "all the time."
The image was released at a time when Obama is pushing a package of gun-control measures in response to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. But the image of a U.S. president holding a gun is certainly nothing new. A number of men who have held the highest office in America have been pictured holding guns, from Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush.
Here is a gallery of images showing some of the presidents who have taken up a gun, while in or out of office:
Texans end J.J. Watt swats competition to win top defensive player honors
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Houston end J.J. Watt has won The Associated Press 2012 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, missing a perfect ballot by one vote.
The NFL's sacks leader with 20 1-2 and a pass-blocking fiend, Watt earned 49 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Denver linebacker Von Miller received the other vote.
Watt, a versatile second-year player with a tremendous burst off the line, also forced four fumbles and recovered two in helping the Texans to their second straight AFC South title. With his long wingspan, he blocked a stunning 16 passes.
Watt is the first Texans player to win the award. Last year, Miller ran away with the top defensive rookie award while Watt was not in contention.
He accepted his award Saturday night at the "2nd Annual NFL Honors" awards show on CBS saluting the NFL's best players, performances and plays from the 2012 season.
Griffin III wins top offensive rookie, Arians Coach of Year, Kuechly best defensive rookie
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Washington's Robert Griffin III beat out fellow quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson to win The Associated Press 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
From a brilliant rookie class, RG3 was a strong winner Saturday night in voting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league.
Griffin, who underwent knee surgery last month, says, "It's truly a blessing to be up there -- to be able to stand, first and foremost."
Bruce Arians became the first interim coach to win NFL Coach of the Year honors. Arians, now the head coach in Arizona, replaced Chuck Pagano in September when the Colts' coach was diagnosed with leukemia. Arians went 9-3 before Pagano returned, and Indianapolis made the playoffs at 10-6.
Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly, the league's leader in tackles with 164, won the top defensive rookie award.
Bruce Arians becomes first interim coach to win top honors
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Bruce Arians has become the first interim coach to win the top NFL award from The Associated Press, taking the 2012 Coach of the Year honors for his work with the Indianapolis Colts.
Arians now is head coach in Arizona.
Arians took charge of the Colts in late September after head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia. The Colts, 2-14 the previous season, went 9-3 under Arians and made the playoffs.
Pagano coached the final game of the regular season and a wild-card playoff match.
Arians earned 36 1-2 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Pagano finished second with 5 1-2, while Pete Carroll of Seattle received five and Leslie Frazier of Minnesota got three.
Tackling machine LB Kuechly wins top defensive rookie honors
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Linebacker Luke Kuechly, Carolina's tackling machine, has won the Associated Press 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Kuechly, a first-round pick from Boston College, led the league with 164 tackles. He began the season on the outside but moved to middle linebacker five games into the season and the Panthers went from 24th in the league in overall defense to 10th.
He earned 28 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. That easily outdistanced Seattle LB Bobby Wagner with 11.
Green Bay cornerback Casey Hayward got six votes, while St. Louis CB Janoris Jenkins got three. Tampa Bay LB Lavonte David got the other two votes.
He is the second Panther to win the award; DE Julius Peppers got it in 2002.
Robert Griffin III beats out Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson for top offensive rookie award
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins has won The Associated Press 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, beating out two other sensational first-year quarterbacks.
Griffin, whose thrill-a-minute combination of running and passing skills led Washington to its first NFC East title in 13 years, pulled away from Andrew Luck of the Colts and Russell Wilson of the Seahawks in a lopsided vote announced Saturday.
RG3 earned 29 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Luck was next with 11 and Wilson got 10.
All three led their teams to the playoffs.
Griffin, who severely injured his right knee in a wild-card round loss to the Seahawks, set the NFL record for best passer rating by a rookie QB.
Class of 2013: Bill Parcells, Warren Sapp, Cris Carter among 7 picks to Football Hall of Fame
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Bill Parcells was a winner everywhere he coached. Time and time again, he took over struggling franchises and showed them what it takes to be a success, including a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants.
Parcells pulled off another victory Saturday -- election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Getting in on his fourth try, Parcells led an induction class that also included mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.
The class of 2013 also included a pair of senior selections, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson. The announcement was made in New Orleans, site of Sunday's Super Bowl.
Almost as noteworthy were the finalists who didn't get in, including running back Jerome Bettis and owners Art Modell and Edward DeBartolo Jr. Players and coaches from the Baltimore Ravens, who will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, spent all week lobbying for Modell, their former owner who died last year, to claim a place in the hall.
Report: Missing NYC woman found dead in Turkey; 9 arrested in the case
ISTANBUL (AP) -- A New York City woman who went missing while vacationing alone in Istanbul was found dead on Saturday, and police detained nine people for questioning in connection with the case, Turkey's state-run news agency said.
Sarai Sierra, a 33-year-old mother of two, was last heard from on Jan. 21, the day she was to fly home. Her disappearance attracted a lot of interest in Turkey, where the disappearance of tourists is rare, and Istanbul police had set up a special unit to find her.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said the body of a woman was discovered Saturday evening near the remnants of ancient city walls and that police later identified it as Sierra's.
The agency did not say what caused her death. But the private NTV television reported that she was stabbed to death, while a private news agency, Dogan, said she had a head wound, suggesting she may have been hit with an object.
Police reached by The Associated Press refused to comment on the case.

Bursitis can also be caused by trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or infection. Sometimes the cause cannot be found.
Bursitis commonly occurs in the shoulder, knee, elbow, and hip. Other areas that may be affected include the Achilles tendon and the foot.

It's the time of year to keep your eye open for hummingbirds and butterflies. I've started seeing quite a few swallowtail and monarch butterflies around the garden, and the hummingbirds are beginning to spend their time around the hummingbird mint.
Hummingbird Mint Agastache rupestris
The best place to see this plant and the hummingbirds it attracts is at the bottom of the Four Seasons Garden on the north side.
Another great place to see hummingbirds is in the Fragrance Garden by the fountain. The Mimosa Tree's red flowers are very alluring to the little birds.
Mimosa Albizia julibrissin 'Rosea'
The next few photos are great for attracting butterflies.
Butterfly Bush Buddleja davidii 'Pink Delight'
Butterfly bushes come in many colors and each one is equally good at attracting butterflies.

We will be having a monthly contest in March, April, and May.
March's theme is "Charm Pack":
What a wonderful idea Oda May. This should be fun.
How totally Awesome! I have several projects on my to do list and this adds lots of motivation and a great way to share :)
Yay! I already know what I'm going to enter for March! What a fun idea!
Great challenges, Oda May: I'm in!
This is great. I am not sure what would be my favorite pack.... since all the packs are beautiful.
I have used one of the tutorials although, I changed mine a little but it still came out great.
Thanks for expanding my creativity!
What a great idea!
Super fun! Way to get me to finally do those tutorials I'm always printing!
i can't wait, i just finished an embroidery stitch a long and now i need something to do!
This is Great!! I love MODA!!
I'm still new to sewing and I always drool over all the recipes. This gives me the motivation I need.
I just love Moda Bake Shop and Moda's precuts. This sounds like fun.
Fun, Fun< fun great idea
This is very exciting!!!
Oh my goodness! I am so excited...how fun! Can't wait to find the perfect charm recipe for my March project...eeek!!!
This will be fun! I love Moda fabrics and the Moda Bake Shop is my favorite stop when blogging.
I love MBS, and enjoy every visit here. I wish you would add one more type of index. I wish you would add an index that sorts all the projects into what type of precut is used. Today I'm looking for patterns that use charm squares, and I'm getting tired of hunting!
Hi there Staci,
If you click on "Bakery" up top, you can search by Charm Pack. Here is the direct link! Thanks :)
How should we enter the contest?
Great idea, I cant wait to finish my project for March and post it! Are we allowed to use the picture on our own blogs?
Great idea! Just a question that I stumbled over recently: For March's theme, do we have to use recipes that were intended to for charm packs or can we make other recipes using charm packs?
You can definitely post pictures on your personal blog. You can adapt other MBS patterns to use charm packs!
I just love making the patchwork tote bags. I've made so many that I don't need the directions from here anymore. Thanks for a wonderful tute.
I have an additional question, just for clarification please. If we use additional fabric to the charm packs that are not Moda Fabrics does that qualify too?
I've never played with the charm packets. I'd love to test them out.
All fabric must be Moda. Thank you!
Looking for a sock monkey quilt pattern.
I have a Q. - for April/Accessories - do all bag&tote patterns count? They aren't all listed under "accessories". Thanks!
Hi LazyQuilter, you can use any tutorial under "Accessories." If a bag/tote is also categorized as an accessory, feel free to use it. But it has to be under the "Accessories" tag. Thanks!
great idea...I should use charms in my projects!!
Beautiful. That's a great idea
Great idea ... decisions, decisions. So many excellent tutorials, so many charms !
I would love to win the Fresh Fabric Treats book. I was not able to get to market for it. One of my many favorite patterns is The Charming Stars quilt by Little Lady Patchwork. Moda precuts are my VERY favorite choice of fabrics to work with. THX Moda :)

Home sales in Connecticut jumped nearly 12 percent in August compared to the same month last year, and home sales for the first eight months of 2012 also increased almost 13 percent compared to the same period in 2011, according to a new home sales study from The Warren Report.
A total of 2,583 single-family homes in Connecticut sold in August, compared to 2,308 sales in August of 2011. Year-to-date sales this year are 16,217, compared to 14,363 during the same period a year ago.
This is also the fourth straight month this year in which home sales in Connecticut have surpassed the 2,000 mark, according to the report.
"Strong home sales have shown once again that the housing market's future looks promising," said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group. "Even though we are comparing to a slow market in 2011, the 12 percent increase is a promising indicator."
Median home prices, however, remained flat in August and even decreased during the first eight months of 2012, the report indicates. The median price of single-family homes statewide in August was $255,000. The median sales price for homes sold January through August decreased 4 percent to $240,000, down from $250,000 during the same period a year ago.
Warren, however, says the lackluster home price data isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"In past housing market recoveries, we've seen sales volume increase before prices followed," Warren said. "Perhaps these low prices will lure even more buyers into the market and bring a sustained recovery."
Condominium sales data in the Warren report followed the same track as home sales. In August, condo sales increased 15 percent over the same month last year, jumping to 649 units sold, the highest number of condo sales recorded in any month this year. Year-to-date condo sales are also up 5.8 percent, increasing to 4,090 from 3,864 during the previous time last year.
But the median sale price of Connecticut condos dropped 11 percent in August of 2012 to $160,000, down from last year's $180,000. The year-to-date median price of condos in Connecticut fell 8.6 percent to $160,000, down from $175,000 a year ago.

OK gals, now that the walk a thon is over and summer is on it's way, what does everyone think about a family get together? How about a day spent together at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison? I know my girls love to be outside and Victoria loves animals. It is a free zoo so that makes it great for me! This is not a meeting where we are going to spend a ton of time trying to accomplish something. Just a relaxing day spent with our families and some great friends..the WI group from the PF!!
So let me know what you guys think, dates that would work. A weekend works best for me. Look at your calendars, talk to your dh and lets plan a fun day.[:D]

text: There was no wink and they never sold it out for these half-hour, densely, beautifully produced pieces, which is, for all possibilities, obscuring that this doesn't at all sound like a comedy show. It is all the production elements you would use in a full-scale news production. All the gravitas, but just inflated to a point that it has no gravitas whatsoever. And I think that is where it became this excitingly subversive thing because it just showed that BBC Radio 4 and everything it stood for was just a big bag of shit.John Oliver on why he's a fan of On the Hour. On the Hour, of course, is the legendary BBC news radio program created by, among other people, Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, In The Loop, Veep), Christopher Morris (Jam, Brass Eye, Four Lions, Why Bother?), Stewart Lee (41st best stand-up comic ever), and Steve Coogan (Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge, I'm Alan Partridge). Short-lived but influential, On the Hour mimicked the tone and production of other radio news shows but replaced the content with what Oliver describes as "unremitting bullshit". On the Hour was aired in two six-episode series (S1E1 S1E2 S1E3 S1E4 S1E5 S1E6; S2E1 S2E2 S2E3 S2E4 S2E5 S2E6), and begat a television series called The Day Today. That show in turn added Graham Linehan (Black Books, Father Ted, The IT Crowd) to On the Hour's already all-star lineup, upped the already-insane levels of overproduction, and ran for six short-but-glorious episodes (one two three four five (WAR!) six), as well as a special 9/11 radio report.

text: The transformation of simple chains into works of striking jewelry speaks to the artful eye and skillful hand of David Yurman. A simple box chain is finessed into a sensual strand of soft corners and edges. In the wheat chain, metal is carefully woven to replicate a round shaft of wheat. Whether worn alone, paired with a pendant, or layered, a David Yurman chain, like each of his designs, is a unique piece of sculpted jewelry.

The two most enduring events in the local running community, the Kalamazoo Klassic and the Borgess Run For The Health of It, started out as 10K events. Back in those days, no one heard of a 5K event. But, as more and more people started to lace up their running shoes and hit the streets for fitness and personal growth, the 5K developed as a great "entry level" to the sport.
The Kalamazoo Klassic has retained it's 10K event thru the years and now the announcement that the 10K is joining the lineup at the 2014 Borgess Run is welcome news to the growing Kalamazoo running community.
The fastest growing individual event the past few years has been the half marathon; in fact last year it drew the biggest registration numbers of all at the Borgess. But, it's a big jump from doing a 5K to going the half marathon route and the 10K is a really nice stepping stone for those of us looking for challenges beyond the 5K event.
Registration for next year's Borgess Run and Kalamazoo Marathon opens August 1 and the event is next May 2-4 in Kalamazoo. There will be a Borgess Run Camp in between to help runners make the most of their 10K experience.
