"Run Forest Run!" 

Runners will delight in hearing our guest in this special episode! 

Hide the chocolate covered cookies! Lookout's Mayes Starke is our guest, and he shares about growing up and living in the 'Big City of The South - Hot Lanna". He shares about attending Westminster School and how he left the state of Georgia to follow in his dad's college footsteps at a college we all know very well. He shares about how he 'stole away' the love of his life, Kim and, how she saved his life not that long ago. Hear about the shoes you want to go running in and some local spots - that may or may not be secrets - that are great for running. He shares some names of some local folks - you may know them- that you will want to know if you are a runner....or if you are a semi-recovering chocaholic like Mayes!

Also, hear how he and Kim landed on this rock from Atlanta and what they think about that decision now.  How fortunate Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church is to have you and Kim as members. You all are true blessings in the community.

Mayes doesn't hold back and he certainly, 'runs hard' throughout this podcast. He is a pleasure to listen to with a great voice - listen in and you'll be glad you did.

Mayes - job well done friend - I know Dad, .... and Coach Kash are proud - we certainly are.
