Rich Limacher Hey, I almost forgot! You can see evidence of all The Great Fun we had at last year's The (first ever) Great 8k. Here's the link to all the photos we took: http://www.runrace.net/runreports.php?id=197&tab=a3. Or, simply click on "Run Reports" (the tab is in the margin to the left) and scroll down about a year to The Great 8k of June 30, 2012. Click on that and keep clicking until you see all ... Jun 26, 2013 582 Fri Mar 15th Saturday Looks Good! Rich Limacher Come to Matteson, everybody! The outlook's good, the ground ISN'T muddy (well, it is pavement ;-) and, in those famous words of that great old song, "Summer's here and the time is right for dancing (running) in the street!" We'll ALL be dancing this weekend because... hey, the annual Village festival is happening and, well, "we can do it in the road" on Saturday morning!! No one will object if ... Jun 26, 2013 574 Fri Mar 29th Can't Wait! Rich Limacher Just can't wait this year to see all the truly "groovy" people! Nobody says "groovy" anymore, do they? But you know what I mean. And besides, even "old hippies" can still run... or walk... or cheer!! It's "far out," brothers and sisters, and we need YOUR "totally cool" selves to show up, see, and be seen! You don't want to miss this. You can "locomotate" right over the Sweet Matteson Bridge ... Jun 15, 2013 559 Fri Mar 15th Don't be fooled! Rich Limacher Hello Everyone! In searching though the info regarding our upcoming race, it occurs to me that someone looking only at the Registration tab and/or Who's Registered might think that hardly anyone's planning to run this Saturday. Oh, but nooooooo! What's *not* being shown here are all the many many folks who either registered via "checks thru the mail" sent to the address on the paper entry form,... Jun 26, 2012 592 Fri Mar 15th I have seen the course map! Rich Limacher Yes! There's a copy taped to the main desk counter inside the Matteson Community Center. Since I wasn't wearing my (it's just hell to be old :( reading glasses (!) when I went in to exercise, I couldn't read the full map in its entirety, BUT...hey, I saw The Bridge and believe now that the course actually goes over it TWICE! And traffic isn't going to be much of a problem because the course is... Jun 14, 2012 597 Fri Mar 15th Want to contribute? Rich Limacher It's easy. Click on "Messages," then on "Post a Message." You may have to "join" this group first, but that's easy (and has no lasting consequences; that is, you WON'T be spammed forever afterwards in your Inbox by advertisers who just got your e-addy from joining this group)!! I'd like to continue, now, on just what else you can do from high atop the Matteson Bridge overlooking I-57. Like, ... Jun 12, 2012 571 Fri Mar 15th Getting ready for The Great 8K Rich Limacher Hello! How's everyone's training going? I'm suddenly wondering if The Great 8K course is going to take us over the new Matteson Bridge--you know, the one over Interstate 57. Hmmm... Hope so! It's a great part of a pretty cool running (and walking) paved trail which is otherwise known as a "bike path." As time goes on, such bike paths are going to connect all kinds of places around the South S...
