Today's run sponsored by a machine who once again kicked some of our butts in this year's Boston Marathon. Inspiration Squared - Dick and Rick Hoyt!
Back to the outstanding trails and adjacent roads around the Lowell-Dracut State Forest, with E Streeter Mike Cassidy returning to the fold. We were running in Lowell, so obviously, no Scott and John today. Here's Mike conquering the hills heading back into the woods. Tyngsboro Police Officer Carlos wasn't in the picture because he was too busy casing some of the neighborhood homes and watching out for rogue mail carriers.
Sadly, when you've been running together for so long, you start dressing alike. Apparently we should have called one another ahead of time to avoid this social faux pas. Either that, or three of us just want to let everyone know we were stupid enough to run the Derry 16 miler, an extremely flat course in the frozen tundra every January. This picture gets me singing the old Sesame Street song, "One of these things doesn't belong here....."
Mike was lost at this point, just following trailblazer Tommy and keeping an eye out for errant wild animals indigenous to that pond.
Back at the Elks, an invigorating run behind them, some of the E Streeters are apparently confused, ready to pay their parking fees. Silly boys, that's only at East Boston Camps!
