No Sweat!

Picture this: a quiet Sunday morning in a peaceful Pawtucketville neighborhood.  You take a break from your morning coffee, wander out to grab the paper, and you see this sight coming at you down your street:

Exactly.

The E Streeters returned to the Lowell/Dracut State forest today for some bear-free wandering in muggy conditions!  So muggy, in fact, that sweat would be plentiful for this excursion.  For most humans, that is.

A worrisome start when a monster hawk sat perched atop a light fixture, watching us run beneath him.

With a well-timed call-in from Scott to provide us with life-saving trailblazing directions, we head into the thick of the forest.  But first, let's pause for a quick line-up shot, giving Tommy the opportunity to finally look up to his brother. 

Nothing like stopping a pair of lovebirds out for a morning hike to ask them to take a group picture of five sweaty men and one dry machine.  Note to Tommy:  when we accidentally wear the same shirt - an MCC classic - we should probably not stand next to one another for the group pic.

Afterwards, back at the cars, we can only stare in amazement, not just at the amount of sweat that has drenched all of us, but at the amazing lack of a single bead of sweat on Carlos!  How does he do it?!?

A fabulous July run, notching yet another great outing into the Lowell/Dracut forest.  Trailblazing at its best.  What course did we run?  How did we choose our trails?  Say it with me, E Streeters:  "It doesn't matter."
