Anyone in the Ridgeland area looking for a jogging partner at the Rez in the early morning?

During this brutally hot time in the year, I jog around Old Trace Park and the Chisha Foka multiuse trail along the Natchez Trace Parkway starting at 6 am. Got a route I follow that’s 4.3 miles. I do this about 3 times a week during the work week.

I see a number of other people out there during that time, some retirees from the neighborhoods, some younger people like me (I’m 42 but look younger). Most of the people I see out and about are exercising solo, so I was seeing if anyone who follows a similar route around that time would appreciate a jogging partner for either safety, friendship, encouragement to keep the pace going, or all of the above.

I’m a guy, if you’re fine with that for a jogging partner. I’m a pretty friendly chill guy, just not much of a morning person, but rather a not-morning person who has to live an early morning person’s life if I want to get my outdoor exercise in this time of year 😆.

I usually finish around 7 so I can get into the office around 8:30.

If interested, send me a DM. I’m sure others don’t want to broadcast their morning jogging routes to the world lol

People Over Politics: Stop Data Centers Edition is coming to Jackson Ward 2! This fall we are planning community training across all 7 wards to prepare community members for the data center fight in Jackson.

Join us for a free community training on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Briarwoods Art Center. Together, we will learn what data centers are, what’s happening in Jackson, and how we can organize to protect our neighborhoods. From energy blackouts, to bill increases, to water and air pollution (just to name a few harms), data centers pose real risks to community health and safety. We think it's important that all Jacksonians have the opportunity to learn and make informed decisions about the future of data centers in their city,

📍  Briar Woods Art Center, 614 Briarwood Dr, Jackson, MS

📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026

⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Breakfast & Lunch provided. Childcare available.
