Once again, catching up on delayed blogs, it's time to check in at the Lowell Thanks4Giving 5K at the Lowell Elks, complete with a monstrous turnout of E Streeters, and of course, the awesome pies awaiting us at the finish line. Hoist them high, E Streeters!
Ain't no pre-race jitters from Finn, running in his first 5K. He's probably more nervous about being hoisted high like an apple pie by Tommy
In the chute at race start, Dinsmore Street is well represented, and we're joined by Christopher Cook, running his first 5K in Lowell after a raucous Thanksgiving Eve, and Donna Corbin, who eats 5K races up like they were Thanksgiving dinner appetizers
It must have been a holiday, because there were John and Scott sightings going on in Lowell
Let's check in for some shots along the race course, shall we?
Here again, documented proof of John and Scott running in Lowell without a police escort
They didn't need the police escort. They had Barry to protect them.
Tom Hildreth always knows where the camera is
Chris really isn't in as much pain as he looks like here
In a truly inspirational running moment, Christopher persevered even after looking to his right and watching a younger runner on his hands and knees, losing his breakfast on a Pawtucket Boulevard lawn. True story. The kid was praying to the Lawn Doctor.
DJ, running in her fourth consecutive Thanksgiving classic, won't get lost in a crowd with that shirt on.
The Cassidy clan, armed with pies and matching tees.
Warriors
And in the end, for the Dinsmore Street trio, it was, as always, all about the pie
Taking two seconds as I do every Thanksgiving season to give thanks for the fact that not only am I still around here to write this damn blog, but that all of you are here to read it as well. Giving thanks for family, friends, and the health that allows us to still run these crazy races.
A Wicked Good Thanks all around!
