<p>Hi All-</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wanted to start a thread on this idea based on a conversation that Roots and I had in Madison. I may be misquoting Roots, but there are still plans in the works for a more formal event in Joe's honor in Ohio. The idea we had may be less formal and more personal to each of us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As we all know, in a week will be the marker of Joe's death, which is not something we feel like celebrating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, in true Voo fashion, we also know that he did something pretty amazing the night before his death--a 20 miler after work, which <em>is who he was</em> and worth celebrating. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roots and I discussed having get-togethers of groups locally who would meet and run basically whatever they wanted to on the 23rd to honor and celebrate what Voo did best. For example, in the MSP area, this would be along the River Road as that's where Voo ran here. There is a 5 mile route we could all run together. People of course, can also do this on their own and post virtually, but it would be cool to do this and then meet after for beer or something? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a thought...I wanted to throw it out there as it's coming up this next week (I believe this would be a Friday night). The other idea Roots had was to wait until Joe's b-day to give people time to train and have a more formal event where people would run 20 miles, 2 miles or a 20 mile relay.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What think you?</p>
