It was all smiles at the Festivus 5K in Salem on 12/9. Check out this happy crew (l to r): Susan Keezer (Wicked red hat), Michele Campbell (braids), Wicked-by-Campbellassociation Lu Sepulveda (gray NY shirt), Tennille Doyle (waving behind Lu) and Kelly Gifford (Wicked singlet in full view). Good times, PRs and happy runners all around. I love this town!
