Leaving Memphis is not a necessity to do epic things. You need not look any farther than the Mississippi River. Running along the Mississippi River as the sun goes down after a hard day at work is a great way to wash the stressors away, and running across the Mississippi River while the trucks and the trains go by is about as Memphis as it gets. Turning around and coming back once you get to Arkansas lets you see the skyline that is uniquely Memphis. Running across the Mississippi River and back is one thing, but to make it a life-changing experience, a trip to one of the local barbecue joints downtown is required. As you sit there taking in the local flavors of Memphis, washing it down with a cold local beverage, you can still get one step closer to understanding epic because epic is a state of mind.Â
