The Icemen Runneth

So, somewhere along the line, we E Streeters thought it would be fun to do an eight-mile run in sub-zero temperatures this morning. Needless to say, we were quite the spectacle for the Westford families who, instead of driving through an animal preserve, opted to take their kids for a ride to see the stupid-ass runners.

Here's the result (forgive the quality of the pics, electronic devices tend to malfunction at -4 degree temperatures, which it was at our East Boston Camp start.)

Here we are at the start, joined by Scott Graham, who decided to add seven miles onto his already-completed seven-mile loop: Preparing for the hills of Chelmsford:
Scott Spence had a clear advantage out front:

And the satellite pic of our course, because NASA likes to keep tabs on the E Streeters:
And finally, at the finish, Barry was a little worse for the wear:
And just think - next weekend we get to run twice the distance, only with more hills!

Wow! That's dedication. Obviously Barry took the cool down a little too serious. Keep inspiring the rest of us to wish we had the motivation to run in weather like that.
