BOB AND OMAR
THE ULTIMATE ODD COUPLE
Hi, I’m Bob. I’m a bridge.

path to a successful 10,000 steps. I know what you’re thinking, “Bob, what’s the workout plan—please tell me your secrets!” Well you’ve heard of a 5k and a 10k, but what about a 0.9k? I’m 3,000 feet long, which is 0.9k in marathon terms. So walk across me, take a photo, and show it to my peeps at the Omaha Visitors Center to get an official marathon sticker. Put it on your car to be really cool. Fun Fact: I also connect 150 miles of trails, so my over-achieving friends can keep running, or rolling, or crawling along.
