Another Bix 7 in the Books

This past weekend, we traveled to Davenport, IA to run the Bix 7 - one of the country's largest road races covering 7 miles and some pretty severe hills (www.bix7.com). Finishing is definitely an accomplishment you can be proud of.

Jen logged her fourth finish, and Matt ran the race for the third time and finished with his fastest time yet. We had a good time, had a chance to visit with good friends, and are proud of our finishes.

Matt Meets the Ironman

For those of you who don't know Matt very well, he's a bit of a baseball card and memorabilia collector. And for as long as I have known Matt, he has wanted to get Cal Ripken Jr's autograph in person. On Saturday, July 18, 2009 he got his chance!

Matt got Cal to sign and inscribe his jersey, shake his hand, and pose for a photo op! Good day for Matt!

It will only be a matter of time before Matt has his Ripken jersey framed and hanging in the basement next to Brett Favre... What paint color doesn't clash with Packer Green and Oriole Orange?
