SUMMARY: Bradley Davis, a sports anchor and avid runner, participated in his first marathon in February, but was outrun by 50-year-old Russell Simpkins. This weekend, Bradley ran with Russell at Walcott Park in Ridgeland, asking him about his running journey. Russell, who started running in his late 30s, now runs 70-80 miles per week and has completed four Ironman triathlons. He's also a full-time pharmacist, balancing his demanding career with intense training. Russell's advice for first-time marathoners like Bradley, who qualified for the 2025 Boston Marathon, is to take it easy in the initial downhill miles to conserve energy.

Bradley Davis goes for a run with Russell Simkins, who bested him and came in first in the Mississippi Blues Marathon.

SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday. Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Plan for a hot weekend with showers to dodge
