The Big Willi Style sleeps with a night light. Not because The Big Willi Style is scared of the dark, but because the dark is scared of The Big Willi Style Cheesy

I would just add that many people, from numerous clubs, sleep with a night light because they are scared of The Big Willi Style.

...and that's why there are so many fast runners in the Peoria area. Just plain scared of BWS catching them...

This guy as a PR of 32 minutes in the 10K and 2:38 for the marathon (very hilly course). He found out that I am doing this thing (1 miler) and has talked some major trash to me and I can't do anything about it.

Why isn't this an IVS program to start with? Isn't Adam on the IVS board? So why wouldn't this be an IVS deal, did someone shoot it down? I know CHOICES get a portion of thr revenue who gets the rest? Do the coaches get a salary? I don't remember Greg White getting paid for his time! Remember Erik blasted Marathon dude for writing in and solisiting his services! But now it's ok? These are questions that should get answered why bc you sent out to every ivs member an email about this program which isn't a part of the IVS at all, right?

I blasted Marathon Dude because his interest was SELF promotion to increase HIS bottom line. This is a community group interested in this community's bottom line.

I thought I received it because I am on their mailing list. I could be wrong... The Main Street Mile was, in any case, very fun. My husband and I took our daughter and inlaws down to watch. Everyone enjoyed it.

I've been to meetings for PATFC. They are going to offer some things IVS has no appetite for. For instance they offer individual coaching via FAST. PATFC encourages members to support IVS and to run Steamboat and Team Steam, Building Steam, etc. They want IVS support to run their finish lines at races. They want IVS to put races on the IVS race calendar. At this level it's no different from any other organization holding a 5k in the area. I encourage you all to go out and try out PATFC events. They are no doubt going to be fun and they are planning on some unique distances that we rarely have opportunities to run. We have a bunch of 5k's in the area and they want to add more variety i.e. more kids track as well as post-collegiate T&F, as well as less frequently hosted distances like 3k, 10k, 12k, 15k, 20k runs. They are supporting inner city kids k-8 development. I think that's great for Peoria, but regardless of school district you can also get your kids involved if it works for you. They are doing lots to make it fun for youth. If you are in HS and run cross country, you might want a summer running clinic. The area HS coaches have strict rules about off season coaching but kids still need running outlets and PATFC can offer them. IVS supports these events but doesn't necessarily want to host them. So it fits well for the running community and for Peoria to have PATFC. If you can get kids interested early and you offer enhanced off season outlets for those kids that are interested, it's only going to help Peoria. District 150 is having a difficult time as is and is not capable of supporting track and field but many outlying (better funded) districts do. Thats too bad for kids in town but it's going to change! Having this will help us by helping the business community attract people to come to Peoria. It's just one more great reason to live here! Because of IVS, PATFC, and all of you, Peoria has so much more than just great weather to offer Wink

I need a beer!

Ahhh much better!

Its a little known fact that during the Main Street Mile, as The Big Willi Style passed Big Al's, he pointed to the building. Upon pointing, at that very moment, The Big Willi Style said "Booyah!"

Every stripper in the establishment climaxed at once.

Alright, I apologize. That was X-rated. But admit it, you laughed your a-- off!

So look at it as "Bambi" with an adult situation or two thrown in. Grin
