Hey, Jack Kerouac!

The Dharma Bums got On The Road this afternoon for a warm 5K through downtown Lowell and into Belvidere for the Jack Kerouac 5K. (And that should be the extent of my Kerouac references.) And thanks to Jill Kenny for the photo assist!

The first photo should be a clue as to how the E Streeters did today.

Here's Scott at the start, running side by side (to his left) with the man who would thwart Scott's strong effort at notching the overall win. Sean apparently wasn't prepared for the cameras this early in the race:
Heather, however, is always ready for the camera (note shameless plug by her father for the Middlesex Community College Fitness Trail 5K, coming this Saturday):
The lead pack, heading out (note shameless plug in background for Middlesex Community College, hosting its own 5K race this Saturday in case you hadn't heard):

Smiling because she's beating her dad:
No one else in sight, here comes the second place overall finisher, from Groton: Scott Spence!
Sean, trying desperately to catch up to Scott, represented well with a 34th place overall finish
And here comes Heather, posing for the Lowell Sun photographer in the foreground:
Medal time!
It's getting old for this guy! (Not that he's old, just the medal placing) And no silver comments today - today, he was "impressive!"

Sean and I took off our medals for this pic. Scott and Heather couldn't part with theirs. Nicely done, E-Streeters! Over and out from the Town and the City. (One more Kerouac reference, couldn't resist.)

Here's the overall results, via coolrunning:
