Remember, the arrow is one of Zeno's paradoxes. He's not describing reality; he's trying to impose a conceptual-only understanding of reality on the thing, itself, and ending up in a logically impossible situation. His description of the arrow's motion, or the runner's traveling half the distance to the finish line, and then half the remaining distance, and then half the distance left after that, and so on, and thus never actually finishing, are exactly that: descriptive, not prescriptive.
