When the sun goes down and the 39-degree weather sets in, most people are getting into their most comfortable clothes and staying inside for the night - except for these runners. Every Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the track next to the Elma Roane Field house at the University of Memphis, around 40 runners meet with coaches to improve their speed and endurance. The runners range from novice to advanced. The event is promoted by Breakaway Running and has been going on for more than 30 years. Most importantly, it’s free and everyone is welcome. Here is a look at some of the runners.

By Kathy Brower/MicroMemphis Reporter 'Everything you order, we cook right at the moment,' says owner Antonio Martinez. Located at the corner of Park and South Graham, Las Delicias has been providing authentic Mexican food to the people of the University District since 2009.
Although Las Delicias (or Las D’s, as the locals call it) is family owned, they do offer three locations - Mendenhall, Park and Quince. The Park location, however, is where college kids, businessmen and families can be found enjoying the homemade salsa and freshly fried corn tortilla chips. Antonio Martinez said he manages to keep people of all ages and backgrounds coming to Las D’s although he said he does nothing special. “They feel comfortable and just come back. That’s amazing to me. And I like it that way.” |
