The 40 Year Old Runner

Say goodbye to Sub-40, Sub Four!
After all this time, Sean finally joined the same age bracket as his fellow E Streeters.  So what better way for him to spend his foray into his forties than an eight-mile run with a bunch of guys who've been running like they're in their forties since they were in their thirties?
The Mean Streets of Chelmsford, hills and all, welcomed the E Streeters today.  How did we celebrate with the birthday boy?  Well, there were these two ladies who stopped to talk to us along the way, but this is a family blog, so we'll have to leave that story out on the streets.

Nothing like an ice cream on your birthday.  Say, haven't I seen that name somewhere this week?  On a book title written by some hack, or something?
Barry had intended to flash Sean's 4-0 birthday sign, but had a bout of dyslexia, and instead flashed a sign for the 0-4 gang and insulted a bevy of ganstas.
Afterwards, back at Woodlawn Estates, hoisting high the birthday muffin.
The run came complete with an Aquaman sighting, though not still in his box.  And more than once, we felt like we were running with bags of sand, under skies that were dark and cloudy, with a chance of drive-by.

Happy birthday Pumpkin Man, welcome to our age bracket!  See you and Jill in Vermont!

Welcome to the club Sean! You're only as old as you feel unfortunately the only time I feel over 40 is when I run but hopefully that's not the case for you. Also, always nice to be reminded of Sullivan's ice cream. I haven't found a place yet in the Lehigh Valley that can match em.

Congratulations to Sean for joining the club! You're only as old as you feel unfortunately I only fell over 40 when I run. Also, great to be reminded of Sullivan's Ice Cream. 24 years in the Lehigh Valley, PA and I still can't find any place to match it.
