Native Talk Arizona - airdate: 10/07/2026

So are you looking, so are you planning that when it cools off, are you going to start doing like a planned run a month? Is that how you're going to structure it or how you have structured it when the weather's better?

Yeah.

So funny thing about Arizona runners, like once we, you know, we all just kind of acclimate to the weather.

So, Like the past four months, I've just been running like really early, and that's just how it is.

I understand that's hard for a lot of people.

So, yeah, once the weather's nicer, I do want to aim for at least one group run per month.

I'm looking right now at the end of September, September 26th, as a potential date.

I do need to get a flyer out soon.

But, yeah, like once per month, so maybe like once toward the end of every month we'll have one.

At least one, maybe two.

All

right, so where's the September 26th one? Where are you planning? Because this is going to air, I think, after that? Probably.

But so, like, let's say September and October, where are you thinking the runs are going to be?

Yeah, I'm thinking Tempe Town Lake.

It's really approachable.

It's flat.

There's, like, some good distances that you can do there.

You know, there's a – as Native people, we really, like – have a close relationship to the land.

And that water that's there at the lake is just...

It's good.

You know, it's good to see the water.

And there's a mountain, too, right there.

Well, Butte.

It's a mountain in Tempe.

Those are really, like, special places on a spiritual level.
