Artur comes on the podcast less than a month after finishing as the top masters runner at the Quad-City Times Bix 7, where he ran 38:12. He tells his story of how he returned to running at age 38 after being away from the sport for about 20 years and how he has had to overcome a significant health issue to exercise regularly. Artur, a 2003 Bettendorf graduate who came to America with his mother and stepdad from his native South Africa at age 9, talks about his diet and his go-to location for many of his workouts. He explains what he has learned from his first marathon in April in Champaign, Illinois, when he ran 2:40:21. Artur, 41, mentions why he goes to YouTube a lot and how important his family and faith are to him. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lance-bergeson8/support

During one of the year's busiest weekend for the Quad-City Times' staff and parking lot, the members of the Nashville-based indie pop band Frances Cone navigated their way -- by foot -- from sound check at a nearby venue to the newsroom. With some commotion surrounding the impending start of the Jr. Bix, a series of short road races for kids located just outside the building, we made an impromptu Paper Jams location change to a calmer office space just next door. Frances Cone played two acoustic songs, "Unraveling," and "Keep It Movin'," before going on their way back to the Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel for their 8 p.m. show. The next morning, the streets of Davenport were full of thousands of people participating in and watching the 44th annual Quad-City Times Bix 7.
