COME AND LEARN TO ENJOY RUNNING WITHOUT SHOES! Previously considered by many as an "extreme sport", barefoot running (BFR) is now becoming recognized as a more healthful alternative to shod running. Many "joggers" are surprised to learn that BFR is both accessible to the non-elite and enjoyable by the non-masochist! Commonly asked questions about BFR: Q: Why would I want to run barefoot? A: Because you will learn to stop "jogging" (bouncing up & down) and start RU …
I've decided to start this group because I can't seem to find any running groups that run at times that I am available in my area. I am hoping to find a group of people who enjoy running just as much as I do. If you love running, want to learn how to run, or just want to find a group who can encourage you, this is the meetup to join in the Kenosha/Racine area.

This group is aimed to bring together Elgin and western suburbs runners for group runs, races and social gatherings. I am creating this group because all of the local running groups all seem to gather downtown Chicago, far away from Elgin. Runners of all experience levels and running types should join. I will organize group runs bi-weekly, more as demand increases.
Alright! Ready to run? Looking for a group?Then you may have noticed that there are not many around our neck of the woods. We have some great locations to take advantage of! That is why this group exists. Come on out. We are going through some reorganization and are looking for location suggestions and maybe some races we could train for together. Running with others allows you to push yourself where you never thought you could go and enjoy great conversation. Looking forward to meeting you!

We are looking for like minded physically active people who want to learn and discuss good nutrition to fuel and feed their bodies. AND we are looking for folks who want to be part of a club that will take part in cycling, running, racing, organized sports, weight training, sking, and anything else that we can dream up...LOL. (Obviously you don't have to take part everything.)
3/6/12 - Weekday Games & Semi-Competitive Sundays! Tuesday (3/13) will mark the return of our Tuesday/Thursday weekday games, starting at 5ish until sundown. We're also experimenting with splitting our regular Sunday games into two segments, a "recreational" game from noon - 2 PMish, which is just our typical game. As well as a "semi-competitive" game starting at 2 PMish. These will emphasize player development, smarter decision-making, and involve man-to-man defense, some harder running, playin …

Dungeons & Dragons. I've been playing since around 1980 and have played and DM'd all the versions so far. Everyone of our gamer's is busy with work and families, so I thought we would use Meetup here to make scheduling and general information for our games easier. We are currently running a 2.0 campaign that has a few modifications. For instance we are using the more modern armor class system (no THACO), and we only use the classic races/classes (no Teiflings, Goliaths, etc...). We usually meet …

Bootstraps are a version of the lean startup with a 37-signals-esque twist, i.e a lean bootstrap. The goal of a lean bootstrap is to run in the black as early as possible, preferably from day 1. Boostrappers don’t need or want outside capital for the most part, and they are always conscious of the need to validate that they can actually make money doing whatever they are doing. Basically, if you (metaphorically) placed Rework and The Lean Startup in a blender, turned it to high, then ran the pur …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a challenge since even the chattier types of us tend to be more quiet overall in new social situations. We don't mind awkward silences and tend to "observe" others for awhile first before joining in. Or, we don't fit into the typical "extrovert" social cliques because the idea of meeting others at ba …
