I thought I should mention something about our mile markers for Chester Woods. Larry Pederson came up with a great idea last year to use Burma Shave slogans for mile markers. Now unless you were born prior to the sixties you might not have heard of Burma Shave signs but , from the 1930's to early 1960's they were on almost every road side. Burma Shave signs were cute little jingles posted on a series of signs with the last sign saying Burma Shave. An example would be : THE BIG BLUE TUBE'S........... JUST LIKE LOUISE...........YOU GET A THRILL .........FROM EVERY SQUEEZE..............BURMA SHAVE. Only on the race course there would be one more sign saying NINE MILES TO GO. As you are running along the race course these signs are something to look forward to.
