Creep Becky here, guest blogging for Matt…
The Creeps/Broads, in conjunction with the Goodman and Logelin families, are excited to announce the first “Walk around the World” in honor of Liz, to be held Sunday, September 21st at 1:00 pm in your designated time zone.
Here’s the scoop. As many of you know, Liz’s birthday is September 17th. To honor, remember and celebrate her, there will be a walk/run/crawl/any sort of forward movement the weekend closest to her birthday each year. In the future, it will become the Liz Goodman Logelin Memorial 5k Walk/Run. For the first year, it will be an informal gathering of friends, strangers, robots, creeps and broads. We hope to see this event grow bigger and bigger with each successive year.
At 1:00 pm, we invite you to gather your friends and family wherever you are and walk together. You’re encouraged to wear pink – Liz loved pink – or your new Matt-inspired shirts. Here’s how this becomes a “Walk Around the World: If everyone walks at their respective 1:00 pm, and we get at least one person in every time zone, it creates the effect of 24 hours of walking for Liz. Pretty fucking cool, right?
A Flickr site has been set up for this event. Take pictures walking wherever you are and upload them to the Flickr site so that everyone can see the worldwide participation. Click here for information on submitting your photos. In addition, a Paypal account will be set up (details to follow shortly) and you can make an optional $7 donation that will go to both Matt/Madeline and other young widows/widowers in need.
Should you reside in the MN and care to join the Creeps/Broads/Logelins/Goodmans (including Matt and Madeline), we will be at Lake Calhoun at 1:00 pm beginning in the area with the volleyball courts on the west side of the lake near West 36th Street. Just look for the man-sized Baby Bjorn, as Matt said his first 10k did him in and he’ll be looking to get carried for this gathering!
Questions? Leave them in the comments section and someone will answer them.
Hope to see you on the 21st!
Creep Becky
first?
um…thanks to the creeps for organizing this.
what a great tribute to
liz.
i hope to see a lot of photos in that flickr group…
matt
Never been more proud to be called a creep than I am right now – I cannot WAIT for this event…and Matt – I hope you don’t mind hoping out of that man sized baby bjorn for a bit if I need some help doing the whole 5k…
A great tribute! We will be walking (my baby’s 1st birthday) in the Eastern time zone!
My prayers are with you, Matt.
What a wonderful way to honor Liz. I will be walk/running for sure.
We’re in! We are in CO!
Thanks, Becky!! I hope you have a great turnout in the MN! We’ll be sweating it out in the TX.
If anyone is in the Houston area and wants to join the group, click on my name and contact me through my blog.
Wow! This is a really cool idea – I think I’ll try to make it to Calhoun with my daughter (who I have affectionately called Ro-bot for many many years).
Awesome! Go Creeps!
What a cool idea! Count me in at the Lake Calhoun.
Way to go on firsties Matt!!
Ditto Darcie… SO proud be a part of this amazing, awesome Creepy group!
So, SO excited for the first LGLM5K. How freakin’ awesome??
Holy crap. This is awesome-beyond-all-imagining on so fucking many levels I don’t even know where to begin. I live right by Lake Harriet — please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help before or on the day.
Wonderful idea! I’ll definitely be participating.
GREAT PLAN.
THANKS CREEPS/BROADS….SEE YA THERE!!!!!
Becky is my lover…. Sorry Marissa, I still love your boobies the best!
Creepy Christa, looking forward to participating here in Cali!
We are pretty cool for mean girls…
Crazy ironic that you’re doing this – which is awesome by the way…but i have NEVER ran a race for time before and I am running a 5K on September 21 in my community. I will be thinking of the Logelin’s all day.
What an awesome thing to do!
what an awesome idea!! i’ll be running/walking around the streets of milwaukee! can’t wait to see everyone’s photos!!
What a fabulous idea! I’m guessing we Aussies will be walking first! YEAH!! My daughters and I walk the Mothers Day Classic every year and I also do the Relay for Life, doesn’t mean I like walking though!
fucking awesome, matt. no one desires firsties more…
Long time reader….We’ll be there at Lake Calhoun. Unless it rains then we’ll be at our house indoors.
I’ll be walking in ALASKA. And…we have our very own time zone. : )
I’ll be walking for Liz in Idaho!!!!!
I’m in here in Phoenix! Wait, how will I know when I’ve walked 5K? I’m going to eyeball it.
We’ll be walking in the Seattle area. I am thinking Green Lake. Awesome idea.
Way to go, Becks! Thanks for making it all “official.”
But curse Matt and his first!
I’m totally going to be at Calhoun. I’m a little worried that a fight might break out, though, over who gets to hold Madeline the longest…
Thank goodness walking is acceptable, as I don’t think I can run that far. Though if Matt can do a 10k, I guess I should believe in miracles..
What an awesome thing…I wish I didn’t live 9 hours away in Michigan! Oh well I will do it here with some other ladies!! I better start working out … : )
I knew Liz’s 31st birthday was coming up as we share our birth month. What a fan-fucking-tastic tribute to a lady who’s missed by so many people she never even knew. Kudos to the Creeps.
@ Martini – Drink 5 martini’s very slowly, then you’ll be done. Please post pics of that too! Thanks.
this is such a great idea. hopefully if i’m around i will definitely participate
We’ll be walking here in the suburbs of NYC!
I am already walking in the Break the Silence Ovarian Cancer walk that day but will be thinking of you guys all day!
@C – where ya walkin?
The Burke Family will be Creeps on the 21st! I am afraid we have some little legs that may not be up to the whole 5K!
We will walk for Liz, Matt and Maddie…
Thanks.
The Burke Family will be Creeps on the 21st! I am afraid we have some little legs that may not be up to the whole 5K!
We will walk for Liz, Matt and Maddie…
Thanks.
Oh, I forgot – we are in the Eastern Timezone
What an awesome tribute! I love it and I especially love all the symbolism going behind it!
I will most definitely be walking here in SoCal!
great post becky!!! i 2nd darcie’s comment. i have never been more proud to be a creep than i am right now. i am so excited for this! can’t wait to see all the pink/robot filled pics everyone takes!!
Anyone from the bay area who wants to walk (south bay or east bay preferred) please send a shout out to marsha_garsha@yahoo.com. I’m totally there!!
I will try to make it. Live near Lake Calhoun and walk it often, I’d be happy to do it for this cause! Need to look at our schedule to make sure we don’t have other plans.
Right on to the MN peeps! Glad you’ll be joining in. Looking forward to seeing all the photos.
Signed,
Jealous in SoCal
Totally in! If anyone in the Orlando area would like to join me contact me through my blog as well! See you all on the 21st!
i am willing to miss football for this. i love you bitches and will send pictures of me walking through downtown savannah. great job to all the working creepsters who put this together – you know who you are – and i do too – and we all know who it’s for – and that’s all that matters.
does anyone want to organize a walk in philadelphia? i’d be totally in. i’m a pro photog and would absolutely 100% document the whole thing for the flickr!
ooh. absolutely. love. it.
i will do it here in the oahu. (which also has our own time zone!)
yayer.
I will be walking in the LGLM5K from London UK!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!
Asalamalaykom,
Well, I had to convert…lol…so 5K converts into 3.1 miles. Lake Calhoun is exactly 3.1 for walks and runners (3.2 for bikers and skaters).
I walked 2.6 miles at one go this morning and it took about 25 minutes at a pretty brisk pace (oh and I was pushing Mr. Boo’s stroller for his first day of preschool). I guess if I can do that, I can do this, inshahallah. I’ll be the one in hejab.
This tells how to RUN 5K:
http://www.ehow.com/how_10624_train-run-first.html
but I’ll probably stick to walking…or crawling.
Great idea from great minds for a great lady.
I will be walking and posting pics from London UK!!!!!!!
I’ll be walking from Spokane, WA. Well, Liberty Lake to be exact since it will be a work day.
Any logelin fans from liberty lake wanna hook up? For the walking I mean? lol
Great idea, can not wait to see all the photos.
Damn, I hope my neck isnt still blown out then. Can I get my therapist to take a pic on the traction bed? If I am not walking (except for car to chair, car to couch) by then, I will think of something.
Gimps for Liz!
I’ll be walking in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! I will try to find people to walk with me, but regardless I’M DOING IT!!!
A near miss again as I will be in Hinckley that weekend! Now, if something comes up, or the hubby has to work, then all bets are off and I would be able to join you at Lake Calhoun. But you can bet I will walk for Liz at 1pm, no matter where I am…
Matt, how long will you be in town?
Totally in. What a great way to honor Liz, Matt, and Madeline.
This is perfect timing, as I’m training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. Which is pink overload….I will definitely be sporting it. So…awesome on many levels.
Anyone in the Atlanta area want to walk? You can contact me through my blog. I’m thinking the Silver Comet trail…
Will be walking about 4 miles that Sunday while visiting the Central Coast of California. I’ll round up and call it a 5K.
I’ll definitely be walking/running for Liz that day in Chi-town! And I will wear pink and will wave to anyone else wearing pink
Great tribute to Liz!!
I’ll be doing a loop of central park. It’s 6 miles but i’m happy to do a little extra for M&M. 9/17 is my dad’s b-day i’ll toast to Liz at our dinner that night.
seriously? is this the coolest thing i’ve ever seen or what? omg. that is soo awesome! i can only imagine the turnout…kick ASS!
ya know I have one daughter born September 17th and one born March 24th?
I will be walking here- coastal B.C Canada.
I’ll be on vacation in DC so I will certainly be walking somewhere. Go creeps & broads!
Would love to take part and bring the Australian Eastern Standard Timezone into the fold.
Anyone in/ near Melbourne, Australia who would like to get together and walk on the 21st? Spring is here so it’s a gorgeous time to get out and get some fresh air! Just so you know, I don’t do running.
My Hubby and I will be out of town but I will find a treadmill at my hotel and run 3.1 miles on that fucking thing at 1pm! Maybe I can convince my husband to take a picture of me holding on for dear life…he thinks I am crazy already – why not confirm it! I do not own anything pink but will my sweaty face count? Creeps rock!
This is awesome!! Are there any DC/MD/VA/PA creeps walking/crawling?
Long time
stalkerreader, first time poster. I’ll be walking in the Springfield (SGF), MO for Liz!…and I just have to say..the picture of Madeline in the Elvis glasses about made me pass out from laughter. (I’m sure my dogs think I’m bat-shit crazy after that one.)
We will walk for Liz here in BC.
I will be walking for Liz in Portland, Maine
Hey Los Angeles area creeps, where should we walk? We could gather at the Rose Bowl, if UCLA isn’t playing. Or we could go one step better and maybe hit one of the beaches around here.
@K8 in the Northridge, do you still have the L.A. creeps mailing list?
Matt-Firsties? Awesome…
@ fellow Creeps. The Creeps are my Peeps! I am so proud to be Creepy. I only wish that I DIDNT LIVE SO FUCKING FAR AWAY!! I will be doing my walk that day, but in my heart I will be with all of you in MN. Next year baby…I’m definitely going to be there. Fuck, I soooo wanted a pic with the Robot, too….
Coming out of lurker mode to say 2 things – this is awesome and I will be walking in the Savannah, GA with my 2 young daughters (age 10 months and 4 years). Very much looking forward to being a part of this.
Hello from the ATL (or slightly below it anyway). I’m going to try to get a group together for ATL or possibly we should organize one big frackin’ one. More the merrier. Sarah from the ATL count me in!
I’ll be walking in West Des Moines, IA. If anyone wants to join me…
Hey Matt, what a great idea about the robot from Maureen from PA… you ARE going to bring the robot, right?
creepspeople can take turns carrying it or bring an extra stroller and take turns pushing it around the lake! As if all the people in pink aren’t going to generate enough looks!These boots are made for walking,
and that’s just what they’ll do…
on Sept. 21 in the U.S. Central Time Zone.
- Suzanne, the Farmer’s Wife
I have been a lurker forever, but just wanted you to know that there is now a following of military wives in South Korea, so you can count us in for walking all the way from Korea!!!
Thanks for the motivation – I will be running in the Chicagoland area!!!
I’m so in. I will be walking/running here in Ontario Canada with my seven year old who loves to run.
Such a wonderful idea! See you at Calhoun!! I also live in the MPLS so let me know if you need any help on Sunday!
AJ
‘da Creeps be my bitches! We rock socks and Matt’s “first” made my night.
I’ll not only be walking in Michigan & wearing pink, but I’ll be debuting the new juglets too.
I don’t know if Liz was a boob gal but I’d like to think she was…don’t bust my bubble if she wasn’t though, k?
Anyone keeping track of just how WORLD WIDE this thing is going to be? Matt – you are a world traveler – can you and AJ develop some sort of world map with a dot for all of your walkers…
or something??
I will be working but I walk alot when I work. I will be thinking of you all. If I can get out early I will try to get the the Calhoun to meet you Matt and Madeline! I will wear my shirt with pride that day!
Anyone in the Nashville area want to walk with me? Elove1121@gmail.com
We’ll be walking in the STL. If you’re in the STL, let me know! The plan is to walk at Kirkwood Park. lindseywulfing@gmail.com
Cheers for Liz!
central texas anyone? anyone? bueller?
Way cool count me in. I’ll be walking with BriBedell she’s my daughter and we have our own little madilyn we share.
We shall be walking with a big wave from the mitten state of Michigan.
I will be walking/running for Liz here in Ohio. Can’t wait.
Ill be in the Cincinnati walking and taking some photos! Can’t wait and what a great idea!!
Very nice. I’ll be walking in the same time zone, different state.
Wonder if I can put a rush order on the
New Balance shoes (pink ‘n black) I was
looking at earlier today.
Peace, joy, love…
lk
Totally walking in NC!!!
awesome post becky!!
you creepy ladies fucking rock! i never thought i would be, but i am so damn proud to be a creep.
@marissa: holy shit you made me laugh about your new “juglets” and don’t “bust” my bubble. and by the way, i am completely jealous.
You all rock! Be sure to include your city/state/timezone with your Flickr pics. It will be so fucking awesome to see how many states/countries/continents we have walking on the 21st. I shouldn’t be surprised by this outpouring of support but I’m in awe of it nonetheless.
@Amy from the Ville: I definitely want to see the hotel treadmill picture! You’d be a front runner for the creativity award!
Hey I’m doing the Iron Girl Duathalon that morning AND my biking shirt happens to be pink. I may be too sore to walk at 1pm though – but will be thinking of Liz that morning.
I love number stuff and just thought I’d point out 7+7+7 = 21 – so what an appropriate day to do this!
- Kay
@L.A. dwellers: I’ve set up a discussion area on the Liz Logelin Walk/Run flickr page! Go here and discuss!
http://www.flickr.com/groups/lizlogelin5k/
So proud to be a creep. Way to go girls. This is going to be just awesome. And all for Liz. I’ll be there. Ready to run. Thinking of that “Liz sized smile” all the way to the finish.
Kay — Iron Girl Duathalon — yeah!!! that’s my goal next year! (and we creeps did figure out the number thing 7+7+7 = 21) too cool huh?
What an awesome way to honor Liz.
This is awesome! Looking forward to walking for Liz at Lake Calhoun.
Kickass!
cooollll!!!
I’ll be walking for Liz in Durham, NC!
This is WAY awesome!
I’ll be walking in Pensacola if anyone wants to join me.
Too f’ing cool. I’ll be walking at Calhoun as well! Can’t wait to meet the creeps! Fabulous idea ladies. Maybe i can be a ‘creep-in-training’.
I’m a lurker & first poster…. I cannot wait to run on Sept. 21st in Las Vegas. Pink it is! I’ll be running a little further than a 5k but will send loads of positive energy to Matt & Madeline. My DH is a 9/17 baby as well.
TK from FL
Umm, I don’t run unless there is a serious emegency (and I mean serious) but we will definitely be walking here in the NE for Liz! You creepy ladies are pretty awesome. Matt is lucky to have you
Yay Creeps!
Please keep me in the loop on any walking that will be happening in the SoCal.
Creepily,
j.
i hope the robot will be walking with us in mpls.
i think that liz will be thought of all around the world AND back.
amazing!
–>big shout out to rachel for coming up with this idea & sharing it with us at the first creepfest. glad to see that her idea is blossoming & that we can do something annually that will celebrate liz’s life.
thanks for letting me be a part of it.
much love to my creeps & all wishing to take part in this for liz, matt, madeline & their families.
nbl~
p.s.
doesn’t matter how far you walk or run, 5k is certainly not mandatory!…the creeps ask that you just do what you can with thoughts of liz in every step!
What an awesome tribute!! I’ll be in Paris on a business trip, but will be walking the Champs Elysee and thinking of Liz.
@Becky — thanks for organizing such a great event – sorry I won’t be able to meet all the MN creeps at Lake Calhoun.
What a wonderful idea!
We’ll (me, my hubby and our dogs) definitely be walking on the 21st for Liz!!!
If anyone else in the bangalore wants to join, email me!
Thanks Becky for organizing! So awesome.
Anyone want to walk in the Calgary? Would it be too stalkerish to walk in the Banff where Matt & Madeline just were?
Awesome idea! I”ll be walking in Zurich, Switzerland!
Count me in in New Zealand!
I think I might even beat those Aussies to be the first ones ever to do this walk!
Unless anyone in Rarotonga or the Cook Islands is walk/running… I’ll forward this on to some contacts… That’d be pretty awesome
Long time reader, first time poster. I love this idea. I will be walking on the 21st in Ireland, with my 18 month son and who ever else i can bring along.
Yay, I just started running again so I’m going to knock that 5K out in Berlin, Germany! So I’ve got you covered for the Central European time zone along with Meghan :O)
@ xBox4NappyRash- you gonna represent Holland? :O)
@Matt- did Liz have any preference for where she liked to run? I can’t decide if I should make it a city run, forest, lake, neighborhood setting…any ideas?
Count me in!! What an exciting way to honor someone! Anyone here in Anch wanna meet up and walk for a wonderful family??
Oh, I knew Liz’s b-day was in Sept., but I didn’t know it was the 17th till I read this. 7 is the lucky number in our family too as the number 7 is incorporated in all our birthdays…cool!
I might just have to do a double run on the 17th and the 21st! I’m psyched already!
@Kathryn M. in Berlin…
liz loved running everywhere. she mostly ran in neighborhoods/cities because of where we lived, but you can’t really go wrong with any of the choices you listed.
thanks for taking part…
Seriously, are you guys gonna get people to direct traffic in the Mn? Because this is gonna be HUGE. I’m thinking choppers and megaphones and police barricades. Awesome.
I demand pink fuzzy leg warmers and a matching sweatband for Madeline, a la Olivia Newton John.
Count us in-We’ll be your Hawaiian time zone people!
AND I know people in Guam that I will make sure represent you from the Guamian (Guamanian?) time zone!
You guys rock!
Oh, and Maddy’s boyfriend/ kindred cousin William says hi.
Wow, I love the response we are getting. This is going to be great.
Shout out to my creeps…. love you guys. It’s great to see all our conversations come together into this great memorial for Liz, Matt, Madeline and their families. I’m so proud to have been a part of it.
Can’t wait for the 21st!!
Hola MATT
Buen dia
Obviously, ARGENTINA is going to walk/run honouring your family!
Hurray!!!!!
Besos y abrazos
Sol
p.s. @ My dear “creepy” friends —> Love you ALL !!!!
This is so awesome! My boys and I (ages 1 & 5) will be walking in Maryland on the 21st!!
Matt, we will walk for you in Rocky Mt. National Park! We will be in Estes Park this weekend.
Love from your No. 1 fan in Illinois, who is very excited about going back to Colorado! Madeline, by the way, just gets prettier and prettier. It is so much fun to watch her grow.
Nice idea!
@Kathryn – If I walked 5km I’d end up having my own memorial event!
But I look forward to getting the donation details!
Will no doubt be there.
Two things
Will AJ be selling the t-shirts?
Will Matt autograph his photo book?
Love the idea of paying it forward for other young widows/widowers – what a testimony to the power of love…
Catherine in St. Paul, MN
Awesome! I’ll be walking in Wausau, WI – Think I might even drive over to MN and walk with the group. What a great tribute!
Great Idea! I’ll be in Michigan that weekend, and I don’t know any creeps/peeps there, but does anyone in the Ann Arbor area want to meet up and walk? shoot me an email at MeredithK41 (at) gmail.com and i’ll meet up with you. If not, I will at least walk (decked out in hot pink from head to toe!) in Liz’s honor. Great group of people! Becky, thanks for organizing!
xoxoxoxooxoxo to all of you
Meredith from CHI (Ann Arbor that weekend!)
Awesome! I won’t be walking around Calhoun, but I’ll be somewhere in St. Paul, dressed in pink, nearing the end of 60 miles for the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I will certainly walk that hour in honor and memory of Liz.
Will absolutely be walking in Raleigh, NC!!
What a fantastic idea!
I’ll be walking in Virginia!
(long time lurker, first time comment…)
This is so cool! My girls and I will be decked out in pink out here in our little Detroit suburb. Nice to see some other mitten state folk.
Proud to be a MN-how awesome! Better order those sweet NBs I have been lookin at.I would be honored to help if you see looking for extra hands. See you all on the 21st!
I will have to post this on our local lakenormanmommies website and get a group together in Charlotte, NC.
An excellent idea and we’ll be walking here in the FL in honor of Liz – I just hope I can get the directions right to upload to the site!
i believe i will be somewhere on rt. 80 in eastern PA at that particular moment…driving home to NJ from the penn state game on saturday. but i will make sure to wear pink and if my husband will stop the car on the side of the highway at 1:00PM, i will do a little highway stroll!
what a fabulous idea…
Great idea! The 21st is my hubby’s birthday! If we don’t have plans that day, we’ll be walking in Queens (or maybe we’ll go to Central Park?) with my 2 daughter’s
Christine
Hey Creeps in Colorado, I am organizing a walk in the Denver Metro area so if you’re interested in walking as a Creep from Colorado send me an email at HurichHouse@aol.com Lots of Love and Pink will be walking for Liz in Creepy Colorado
XO,
Carrie
Awww, I’ll already be walking – but in the Breast Cancer 3-Day in St. Paul! You guys should come to the Capitol at 5pm on Sunday to see it wrap up.
I would love to see Madeline!
Best of luck to everyone!
I’m in! Anyone else walking in San Antonio?
I’ve started a group in North Houston/Spring/The Woodlands area (yes, Matt. There is a town called The Woodlands…). We’re walking at Meyer Park in Spring. Contact me through my blog if you’re in our area. Kate in the Houston is taking care of the southies.
Can’t wait. What an awesome tribute. As my friend put it, we need to do this for Liz’s spirit–mother to mother.
I’ll be walking in Auburn, CA where we will be visiting my relatives and friends at 1PM PDT on the 21st. I’ll certainly be with you in spirit.
What a great idea for a great cause! It is my son’s 2nd birthday so I will walk with him (some downtime before he gets into cheesies and such!) and my husband. We will be walking in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (Atlantic time).
I will be walking for Liz that day and wearing PINK! I’m in CST
We will be walking on the 21st in good ol Nebraska in honor of Liz, Matt and Madeline. I am actually going to be in Minneapolis this weekend…which it would be next weekend and I could join the rest of you creeps! I will send pics!
I’m in! I’ll be pushing the kiddies in the double stroller…. if anyone in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area wants to get together let me know. I was thinking white rock lake in the Dallas area, the Arboretum, or the Water Gardens in Ft. Worth. You can reach me at kristen_fosterpope@yahoo.com.
Another Chicagoan on board for this! Joelle and KellyMC…want to get together for it?
If anyone wants to meet up in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa on the 21, let me know. I always need an excuse to move my a$$!!

This is such a cool idea! I’m from the MN, so I’m sad to be missing out on the creep fest, but I’ll be in Vancouver so you can count on me walking there!
I will be walking for Liz in Radom Poland.
Cool! I’ll be in Africa (Kenya) and I’ll try to remember to walk atleast a few steps and take some pictures!
What a wonderful honoring this will be! I’ll be the one at Lake Calhoun looking like she doesn’t know anyone, because I don’t personally know anyone else who reads this blog. Am excited to meet some fellow Twin Citian readers. (Actually, I’m from Coon Rapids, so if anyone reading this is, we could ride down together.)
Long time lurker 1st time poster…this is such a great idea. We will be drving back from deer hunting that day but I will make sure that I’m outfitted in pink and that we take a rest stop at 1:00 so I can walk a few laps around the car.
Damn it!!! I am going to miss seeing the man in a baby bjorn, of all the f’n weekends I am gone it has to be during Liz’s Run/Walk!!! ArgH!!! Well I guess I’ll just have to get the Mr to walk with me in Florida and catch a glimpse of you and Madeline the next time you hit up the MN.
I will be walking in the Sacramento, CA area if there are any others here in my area that would like to join me. Email me at dmyjohnson@yahoo.com
Awesome idea.
Can I be a Creep AND a Broad?
I’m in, totally. Anyone else in Columbus, Ohio wanna join me?
Great Idea. I’ll be there with my baby Bella creepin’ along.
What a great event! I share the same birthday as Liz….and actually so does my son! Hopefully I can make it–if not–my thoughts will be with you, Madeline and of course Liz at 1:00. Thanks for coordinating!
I’m walking 10 miles that morning for a Breast Cancer Walk, but I’ll punch out a little more at 1pm for you guys!!!!! I’m down in the southern MN in Rochester!!! Great idea, would love to be a part of it next year!!!
And…GOA shirts are fuckin’ awesome!!!!
@ LA Peeps, make sure to check the flickr site for a LA group discussion!
I’ll be walking in Cuernavaca, Mexico and I’d love some company!:)
I love the idea! We will walk at Central European Time in Austria, near the boarder to Italy. We’ll see if I get my husband to wear sth. pink.
Looks like the East Coast is covered but I’m still walking in Beantown!
We’re in. We’ll be representing the Arizona timezone (which should really be it’s own thing since we never change time, sometimes we’re mountain, sometimes pacific).
Cool, Gonna have to get a website up where we can join up with other stranger-friends in our local area!
I must clarify: True I typed up the blurb for Matt’s blog, but about 25 creepy broads came together to make this walk happen. I don’t desire any special credit – my fanfuckingtastic creep friends (along with Matt and Liz’s families) are making the 21st possible. You creeps are awesome!
@Cara from Boston – where will you be walking? I am also in the Boston area.
Of course you all can count on Zoe and I making it to the Calhoun – with some friends!
@Matt – don’t know when you are getting to town but the 19th and 20th there is a festival at Harriet Island that you may be interested in – River Rocks Festival – The Alarmists are playing Saturday – I was thinking that was a band you liked – can’t recall, there are so many!
Just wanted to be sure you knew – if you didn’t already!
See you all on the 21st – well done Creeps!
Jen and Zoe in the MN
I’ll be walking (um, these legs, they don’t run) in Edinburgh Scotland!
Just wanted to point out that the only continent we don’t have covered (yet!) for the LGLM5K is Antarctica…
How un-fucking-believable is that???
Wait. It IS believable, and so SO awesome!
running… ok… jogging…ok… walking in Nashville, TN, honoring your sweet Liz.
I’ll definitely be walking that day and will try to meet up with the Minneapolis group. I need to make myself some new creepy friends.
I’ll be nursing my wounds from my duathlon (2 mi run-22mi bike-2 mi run!) in the am, but I will be running in spirit. What an awesome idea. I wish I could do it with you!
you’ve got another supporter here in KC,KS. I got it marked on my calendar (though please try to remind us as my memory is HORRIBLE!)
We will be walking in SYDNEY, Australia. If any one is local to Sydney and would like to walk with us…email me. We will meet at Bass and Flinders Point, Cronulla at 12:30pm.
Thinking of you Matt…
Libbie
Love the idea, i’m going to be run/walking/staggering/dragging myself to finish the 5K. I’m a friend of Jackies found your blog threw her blog.
I’ll be running in the little town of Ucluelet bc.
Barbara- I’m in the Chicago area too & plan to walk… would love to walk together… maybe by the Lake?
Cara/Erin from Boston… I would love to meet up with you as well. I’m west of the city, but would be honored to walk/run with some other Matt/Maddy fans. Just email me… mtalmanson at hotmail dot com!
Matt – as always I hope you feel the love and support from so many people around you from allover. This is amazing… just as you, Liz and Madeline are.
Loving all the responses…it’s all for Liz, Matt, and Miss M.
Fanfuckingtastic!!!!!!!!
Love to my creeps
What an incredible group of creeps we are! I won’t walk on the 21st (chemotherapy and walking don’t mix well), but I will wear pink and think wonderful thoughts not only about Liz, Matt and Maddy, but also about a community of people who are so much in the garden of awesome.
Hi Matt & Maddy,
just checking in to say hi…
Great idea! I’ll be walking in our nation’s capital.
Will be walking in Honey Brook PA!! Woot!
What a cool idea! For any of you who don’t know how far or which streets to walk in your area to equal a 5k you can map it out at http://www.runningmap.com and make your own 5k walk or run.
@ those of you walking the 3 day that weekend, congrats and have fun! I finished a 3 day in Seattle a few years ago and will be doing it again next year in Denver.
Ah yes, creep-fucking-fantastic. Or am I a Broad, I forget, or both? Regardless, Ms. Magdalene and I will be there, she’s walking, but only holding my hands and if I don’t put her in the stroller, my back will be killing me and I’ll need a woman-sized bjorn.
Kate…shoot me an email! barbsmarathon AT gmail
I would love to be a part of this. We don’t live too terribly far from Calhoun so i am hoping me, my husband Adam and our little 2 yr old daughter Jocelyn can come out and meet everyone for the first time (kinda nervous) and participate!
Such a wonderful idea and tribute to Liz!
Looking forward to what should be an amazing event at Lake Calhoun! I’ll be bringing my buddy, Baby Vico who, like Madeline, lost his mommy in 2008 just hours after giving birth to him.
Anybody in the NJ walking?!? Email me…mcgearstella at gmail dot com
You are an inspiration to all. Your daughter is beautiful, and you’re an amazing father.
The other night I was thinking about Madeline’s birthdate (and b/c I’m obessesed with numbers) I figured out her birthdate adds up to 17 which was Liz’s birthdate???? Just something I wanted to share.
3+2+4+8=17
And I will be walking on Sunday in honor of your beautiful wife.
Walking in honor of Liz would be my pleasure. Any other Okies? Let’s walk/run/jog/ride/bike/skate Riverside Drive, start where you want but let’s meet at the statue and water feature on the South End before 71st Street at 1:00pm for a group picture.
i’ve created a facebook group so facebookers can comment on where they are going to be participating etc. search for LGLM in events!
oops- the event is called Liz Goodman Logelin Memorial 5k. search for that!
First time posting, long time creeper. I am so excited to be setting up the 5K in my area and already have a handful of people joining me! Wanted to know if anyone here was in the Morristown, NJ area and wanted to join us! Matt, Liz and Madeline have been an inspiration to me since the day I started reading and I am so honored to be walking in Liz’s memory.
We are putting together a walk in Kansas City at Stoll Park (119th and Quivira): http://jcprd.com/parks_facilities/stoll_park.cfm
