Tuesday was "UAF Day" at the fair so I took advantage of the minimal discount to check it out. Sunday and Monday were gorgeous days so I figured that attendance would be horrible by Tuesday and I was right. This is one of the main paths and, as you can see, their numbers were really down. There were only a couple of new booths and some friends of ours set up an alligator food booth called
Tundra Bayou this year so I had to try it out. I think they will do well as their offerings were pretty good. I ended up staying for almost seven hours since I had brought my middle son with me and he didn't want to leave. I probably got in over ten miles of walking since there were few dry areas to sit down as it sprinkled just about the entire time.
The local feed store had these dog beds for sale and I thought that some of the pink Croc® lovers would appreciate them. If you didn't care for pink, there are a number of other colors available.
Today was another WIN for Alaska walk. I left early and took a scenic route down to lower campus before walking down to the farmers market with the group. A little over ten miles in two and a half hours. Not too shabby. I don't know if I'm a fool or not but I just signed up again for the 50
th Equinox Marathon on September 15, 2012. I have no plans to actually run any of it, just walk and finish within the ten hour limit. The last time I did it was in 2008.
