Every year my city has a little fair: Lakefair
In years past I have enjoyed Lakefair for it's food (really bad for you food)...mmmm elephant ear. We usually go one day during the week for lunch, then once on the weekend with the whole family.
Lakefair also is the time for our annual photo button, a tradition my husband and I (without thinking about it) started our 1st year of dating. This year we will get our 14th button. Here are the buttons from the last 3 years:
Lakefair also brings the soccer tournaments that bring our friends back into town, the volleyball tournaments that are hilarious to watch, the beer garden (which we will not be partaking in this year), the parade, and the fireworks....oh and the rides!
This year I am very proud to say that Lakefair this year marks a new tradition...the 8K!
I woke up at 5:30 and got ready for the race. As you can see, even with the early hour, I was really excited!
Now the last 8K was my 1st race and I ended in 46.24
I was determined to beat my time. I have been training all summer & working at speed and distance both.
My loving husband and Alex were there to see me finish...look I am actually smiling this time:
I must be doing something right, because I felt great coming into the finish line and finishing 43.44!!!
I had shaved 2.8 minutes off my last 8K time.
I can't wait until next year (and for the next race).
