Veterans Runners

A hardy team of MCC students, faculty, staff, and friends took to the streets of Bedford and the roads of MCC's Bedford campus on Veterans Day for the second annual Veterans Day 5K and 10K.

Biting cold conditions to start the day, but as soon as the sun came out, things warmed up quickly. While it wasn't as stirring a version as could be found at the Chamberas race in Carlisle, the Star-Spangled Banner here was equally inspirational.

Representing the E Streeters in the 10K leg, during which the trio posted RECORD TIMES for their 10K racing careers, the three stooges themselves:

Courtesy of the over-the-shoulder run cam, here's Donna minutes after climbing the Mount Everest hill in the middle of the 5K course.

And finally, post-race, Mary-Jo and I are either running for office, advertising V for Vendetta, or just joining the hundreds of others who turned out to honor the men and women in our armed services. Thanks for protecting us worldwide, and thanks to Team MCC for a great outing on the local racing circuit!

Cheers for everyone who took part in such a great event for such an important cause. Once again the E streeters were well represented and those MCC shirts they were sporting looked outstanding. Well Done!
