The Bix after party

Runners relaxing next to the Bud truck




Live music by a local group


And the longest line wasn't waiting to get energy drinks or fruits....the breakfast of champions


And on and on went the line.

Bix 7 2007 ...the Med Tent

This year my elderly sister said instead of standing in my front yard and drinking Champagne and orange juice,that she volunteered us to work for Genesis in the Med Tent...She told me that there wouldn't be that much blood...mostly puke and sweat.I helped out in the Chutes. We watched the runners come across the finish line and made sure there were OK...Signs to look for no sweating,gray,puking...passing out at your feet. I heard that about 80 people used our service.
I got a little sun standing there. Arms feel ok...the neck is another story. Next year..I'll think about it.



Won't Dorothy be thrilled.



I know what I'm doing...I'm a nurse.

They Come




All over!!

Bix at 4:30 er I mean 6

This Thursday I find myself at home. It isn't that odd,it happens a couple times a year. But tonight is one of the Bix at 6 practice runs. This gives the people a chance to get the feel for the course. I think its a good idea...but the people that do it Thursday night can't tell time. I got home at 4:45pm and already they are running down the street. Not the sidewalk even but on the street. At 5 it gets kinda busy with the people leaving the offices in downtown and off the Arsenal Island. This people should be made to wait til 6 when the traffic is thinner and the police and other volunteers are available.
