Another Race to the - Buffet Table

I am loving summer this year. Last summer I didn't get a chance to run any race because I was in the Philippines for a 7-week vacation. This year, I am planning to run more races so I can have reasons to train and perhaps - lose weight.
But how can I lose weight if after the race I ran straight to the - buffet table? LOL
Yup,The Lobster Roll 5K Race is another race the I signed up for me and my Sweetest.
 [My Sweetest's Race Number... to the Buffet Table.]
This is the 2nd race that WE [Me - run/buffet and Hubby - run to the buffet... LOL] did at the Clambake Restaurant where after the race a buffet lunch is included. Well, lunch is included in the registration fee, of course.
Though the race did not give any "free t-shirt", I did get a pair of socks which served as a souvenir of the race and that I can add to my race collections.
The race was a okay despite the humid hot weather. This time, no 2 old ladies passed me but still my time was slow for 38:06 and a pace of 12:16. There were not a lot of participants who joined this race compared to the 1st one of this kind - the New Year's Day 5K [with Seafood Buffet] because there were only 101 participants for this race. I ranked 79th out of  101.
Well, one thing about this race that made it special is... this is my 2nd race that my Sweetest went to watch me.Yup, I registered him again and the Lobster Roll did the trick. Good thing he came with me or else I wouldn't have photos of this race. But still, I would love it more if he would someday run or even walk with me because I know he wanted too... only if his knees are kind to him.
