Good Times Had By All!

Team MCC took to the streets of Lowell tonight to compete in the final outing of the Good Times 5K racing series, and the Middlesex women ruled the night!
It started out perfectly fine, with a great line-up of MCC runners, seen here:
Until some clown had to come along and add some testosterone to the mix and foul everything up.  A thorn among the roses.  And seriously - I got 747 for a number?!?  This plane's coming in for a landing!
In case you were wondering, the women at Middlesex Community College do indeed, run the streets of Lowell.  But ladies - GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR!
In the starting chute, they're flexing all kinds of muscle.  Do. Not. Mess. With. These. Ladies. 
It was a packed chute for the final night of the 10-week 5K series.
A warm night, but a great course.  Here's everyone coming into the home stretch.  Melissa won't even look over her shoulder to see who's breathing down her neck.
Paula, never mind posing, go beat Melissa to the finish!
Rebecca is all smiles on her way to a personal best for the series!
Speaking of posing, Donna ALWAYS knows where the cameras are.
Having had enough with the hills of Worcester, Cherie takes a run at the walkways of Lowell
And oh yeah, who did a personal best and got the coveted smiley face medallion for her efforts?  THIS GAL, THAT'S WHO!  Nicely done, Rebecca!  Onward and upward!
Great job by Dave Camire and his army of volunteers who have turned this racing series into a jewel in the running circles of Greater Lowell lore in recent years.  They're done for the summer, but will be back in December with a Hot Chocolate 2 miler!
Fleet feet, Team MCC!
