I Made it My Bix!

Wow, thank god this is a long month.  Been so busy as of late I have not been able to really focus on posting as much as I like.  Figured you might need a break from all the bird posts so opted for a post topic that is only a month old.  I know, I know it hasn’t been given a chance to properly age hehehe.

Bix 7 2016

Last month (I guess the shirt tells exactly what day) we headed up to Davenport to once again participate in their giant summer party.   This particular party requires you to break out the sweats to get in.  Yes, I’m talking about the Bix 7 race.  7 miles on the daunting hills that will test your mettle no matter what level of runner you are.  (admittedly pretty poor shirts again this year, but the afterparty makes it all worth it).  This year we were without our running buddy Ryan who ended up having a conflict with a St. Jude charity run he was running in Washington IL.

However, we were still able to convince Sung to once again brave the hills with us.  Granted, we didn’t have to twist his arm too much – all we need to do is mention Whitey’s Popsicles and he’s signed up before the last syllable make it out of our mouth.  Now that is commitment to running …..err… well at least to fine desserts.  Once again Linda was walking the Bix 2 with her friend – she got a pin this year for her 15th time!  She has me by one event, so this was only my 14th, but next year I get a pin yeah.

Hit the jump to see how the race turned out!
