Bloomsday!

Joe ran Bloomsday today, along with 50,000 others. Here he is before the 7.5-mile run!

Cedric couldn't resist joining in.

I watched the race from my friend's front yard (someone has to take the pictures). It started light, with the elite runners.

The elite wheelchair racers.

The elite women racers.

Here they come!

Like last year, we saw a lot of bright and interesting outfits/costumes: two bananas, Mario and Luigi, two gorillas (how do you run 7.5 miles in a gorilla suit?), tons of tutus, Dorothy with red sparkly tennis-shoes, and two Waldos (THERE'S WALDO!), a pack of bumble-bees, the Power Rangers, and several sombreros.  A couple of ladies even jingled by with belly-dancing belts. 

And there was one tiny dog with his own race number. 

Cedric didn't even break a sweat.

 Joe was happy with his finishing time. I was unhappy that the moment he ran by my camera's memory card decided to be full. Oh well!
