We took the annual Fisherkeller pilgrimage to the Indiana State Fair this week. We did it all: eat, road rides, saw the sights (and boy there are some to see there!), eat, looked at animals, eat, went into the craft building (1st time ever), eat, rocked out to Rick Springfield, and eat. Did I mention that we eat. Could there be anything more sinful and delightful then fair food? Certainly, chocolate covered bacon, pork butt on a stick and deep fried (insert food - for the record there was deep fried butter this year!) is not for the refined pallet, but there is something to this magical night of massive consumption that I think even Padma Lakshmi would enjoy.
Peggy had the line of the night. Scene - walking on a asphalt jungle for a few hours with over stimulated kids, temperature is somewhere between boiling and surface of the sun, and the sun, now low in the western sky, is penetrating your soul to which Peggy replies, "It's like a constant irritation on top of an irritation." Well, we laughed and laughed. Although for the record our kids were angels, and Hazel receives extra kudos as the big sister that shared (of her own freewill) her sno-cone with her brother after he dropped his.
Running this week has been difficult once again with this unbearable heat. All and all, I am pleased with where I am fitness and health wise. Tomorrow's 11 miler caps a 26 mile week (probably about 26 shy of working off the damage a few hours at the State Fair brings).
Last, but certainly not least, I have heard from many about their intention to donate to DII and Camp Delafield, and for that I thank you. Remember you can send a check to DII (2511 East 46th Street Indianapolis, IN 46205) or you can donate on-line at: http://www.dyslexiaindiana.org/donate_to_dii. Be sure to not "26.2 for Camp Delafield."
Have a great weekend everyone!
