Huge turnout for this morning's Thanks4Giving 5K run in Lowell, and an outstanding showing from the E Streeters!! Here's just a few of the dozens of pics taken by the intrepid course photographer. We always run in a fog, but today that was especially true.
Here's the obligatory starting line pic:

Here's Carlos, telling us that there's no way he's letting Andrew (in the green hat) finish in front of him, despite what the 16-year-old might believe:

Here's me beating Scott and Carlos for a portion of the race. (The pic is blurry because I was running so fast.)

Andrew in the home stretch:

Carlos with his secret devil sign that he and Scott feel obligated to flash every time they're on camera together:

Not quite back of the packers, but definitely packers:

Running in a fog:

And of course, the obligatory after race pie shot. (Everyone who ran a solid race is holding one.)

And yet another pie shot, with a couple of different E Streeters thrown in. (Again, good race = pie holder.)

And that's a turkey wrap!
Thankful for family and good friends, thankful that we're all healthy enough to keep running, and thankful that for part of today's race, I was beating Scott and Carlos! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
