Lakefair 2011

Taylor and I headed down to Lakefair for dinner on Thursday night. We decided to splurge and boy did we ever. I had the worst child-like stomach ache pretty much all day Friday, it was terrible.

The weather hadn't been great, but fortunately it wasn't raining while we were down there. We saw Bill and Heidi who take Haylee each year to Lakefair. We visited for a bit but then hit the food stands:

First stop:
Corn Dog- Kari
Chili Dog- Taylor
Curly Fries - we shared

Second stop:
Shrine cheeseburger/single - Kari
Shrine cheeseburger/double - Taylor

Third stop:
Elephant Ear - Kari
Elephant Ear - Taylor

Fourth stop:
Roastbeef sandwich - Taylor

Fifth stop:
Mud pie - Kari & Taylor shared

Now you see why I had such a terrible stomach ache Friday and truly felt like I was going to barf on Thursday night....imagine if we would have gone on rides!!!!! It was so fun though! We are good team of eaters! Haha

Saturday was the Lakefair 8k Race (remember that is 5 miles). Last week I only ran two times in preparation of the race because the weather has been SO freakin' terrible. I like to run, but I'm not so in love with it that I enjoy running in the rain. Not to mention I run on my lunch breaks which would mean I'd be a mess for the 2nd half of my days. I was worried about Saturday's race, but when I ran on Friday I had a really good time for the 2 mile route we take, so I thought I'd be okay.

Well, I woke up Saturday morning and it was POURING. I wanted to bail but I had already paid so sucked it up, grabbed a jacket and headed out. Fortunately the rain subsided a bit, but it was pretty much misty/drizzly the entire way. I do not have my time yet, but I'm pretty confident I beat my goal of 50 minutes. That's all I wanted! Even if it was 49:59, I'll be happy. I timed it with my phone and it appears I beat my time, but the app I use on my phone also showed that I ran through Capitol Lake so I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.

Taylor met me at the finish line. I love how supportive he is of me! There he was, cheering me on, waving and taking photos. He's truly the best!!!

We didn't stay for the award ceremony because I had to get home to shower, pickup the house and anxiously await the arrival of our Niecey-Poo LC! She was spending the night!!!..........................

Here I come!
