Looking Presidential

Taking advantage of the President's Day holiday, the E Streeters hit Great Brook in Carlisle today for an outstanding outing! One of those days you could run all day.

We quickly discovered a new trail, albeit one with a warning sign. Not sure if they were warning away the Clydesdales (complete with Barry's gangsta pose)
Or the mustangs, (featuring a new runner in the mix, Sean's neighbor, Chris, who likely will never return to our company after being subjected to the crude and off-color humor that tends to fill our runs)Straight out of a GQ Magazine (Geek Quarterly), Barry and Jonathan strike a fashionable pose as they watch for their fellow runners in the wilds of Carlisle.Since this is a family blog, I really can't discuss what Tommy is showing Sean and Jonathan on his iphone.180 Ryan is all smiles leading the way on the only pavement on today's trail run. Must be the new sneakers.Jonathan is like a little kid when it comes to trails. Whether that means playing in the holes of the Garrison Loop......Or breaking stride to pose in the rock fort along the course. (He really needs to get out running with us more often.)As always, Great Brook provides a panoramic backdrop for our post-run celebration.Add ImageSeriously - if you haven't checked them out, you've gotta hit the trails of Great Brook. They live up to the hype.


Before we wrap up, though, a special sentimental shoutout to a member of the extended E Streeter family. Gator, he of Carlos, Ann Marie, and Kayla's daily adventures passed away on Sunday. For the dog lovers among us, you understand the impact. Let's leave things with the words of Will Rogers: ‎"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."
