Here's a little known piece of trivia: Wisconsin is the only one of the contiguous states with no runners (unless you count the racing sausages) Evil grin

Which makes the existence of the http://www.runningahead.com/groups/Wisconsin_Runners/Forum group kinda mysterious.

Cry havoc and let slip the dawgs of war!

May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

Huh? Is it just too hard for us to run with cheese attached to our heads? Seriously, LaCrosse is a beautiful city. I've never run there, but the bluffs and Miss. river are breathtaking.

2010 Goals
1. get to and maintain 20 MPW
2. sub 50 min Crazy Legs 8k -- April 10 (so close! 50:13... next year)
3. sub 30 min 5k
4. improved time in Madison half marathon -- May 10

Oh yeah? Well Wisconsin has the largest four sided clock IN THE WORLD!!! Eat it. And that forum is for badgers.../smileyverysad....there happen to be other fine universities located in Wisconsin that don't have a badger as a mascot.

This could be the reason why we're always listed as one of the fattest states. That and custard.

Sorry Daytona, I'd run with you but I'm on the wrong side of the state.

I knew there was a reason the wind normally blows to the East. EDIT - I read it again and had too many blows.

As long as you don't wear it backwards, that wedge of cheese on your heads should actually be fairly aerodynamic. Wink

Apologies to my friends from America's Dairyland, Daytona's thread had about 35 reads without a single response so I figured a little good-natured poke might smoke ya out of your badger holes. It sorta worked. Smile

Man, I hate the "cheesehead reputation". Gives us a bad reputation of a bunch of yah whooos who are not too bright. Why would anyone where these? I am a diehard Packer fan, but for much of this city, this team rules people's life. I used to be a bit like this from late teens to late 20s, but then reality set in. It is a game! The "cheesehead" did save a Wisconsinite when he was in a small plane crash. The cushion of "cheesehead" saved his life. Ok, there is one purpose.....
