Because this past Sunday's run was certainly not a regular run (see below) plus the summer is such a delightful time to sit outside and drink coffee, let's meet at the Coffee Tree again.
Our run got off to an auspicious start when a police cruiser trumpeted "Have a nice run ladies" as we ran down Murray Ave. We then made our genteel way around Prospect Drive looking at the fancy race cars that were being prepared for the Vintage Grand Prix. Those two events alone would have made for a memorable run, but we continued on the Wendy Bennet Trailhead trail and Elaine led us up steps by the Vietnam Vets Pavilion, which were new to some, to the Schenley Oval. There we discovered that the new soft track had been completed which of course we had to run around as we admired the very fine soccer field. Heading back to the Coffee Tree we were stopped from crossing to Bartlett Street by a race official (Emergency Vehicles on the Grand Prix course?) and had to make our long run even longer by skirting around various barriers. By that time we got back to the Coffee Tree we were more than ready for coffee and visit from Murray, a calming kind of dog.
