So What Did YOU Do This Weekend?

Nice quiet weekend around these parts. It started with a high school reunion on Friday night. Got to catch up with old friends as well as the nun principal who spent four years trying to figure out how to get me out of her school.

Then, on Saturday morning, my beautiful daughter ran a chilly race, the first-ever BayState 5K. With her brother as her pace car, the pair delivered a terrific performance, captured here on the VFW Highway by race photog Jim Rhoades. Possibly my favorite running picture of all time. This was Heather at the start, with her brother pointing the way.

Nice loop around the Tsongas Arena

Always smiling.....

Getting high gives from Mom and Nana

And a kiss for a job well done from Mom

From there, it was time to Touch a Truck at St. Margaret's with Heather for a couple of hours. Heather got to wear a warm Allie-Gator costume. Mom spent the time indoors, tattooing children. Dad? He got outdoor duty touching trucks.

From there, it was the BayState pasta dinner, with the XC team supplying the support, and the XC parents taking care of the cooking.
Next, it was off to Tom and Megan's annual Halloween bash.

Like there was any question who's the Boss:
E-Streeter Wives:
E-Streeter gals:

And then Sunday morning, the BayState half marathon. The Scanlon father-son tandem, waiting to get started:

After the fact, at Lelacheur Park, here's the Lowell Police Academy contingent, staff instructors and student officers basking in their finishes:
And the E- Streeters, with Barry giving thumbs up to the post-race soup:

Whew! A nice, restful weekend!
