Mar 4 Run: Tom's House - redo

Tom says:
"If a man awakes at 6:00a.m.and no one appears to run, does he still run? No. I'll take it again and we will try to do it sans ice."
Tom's house is at 5434 Aylesboro (near Forbes Ave).

Actually Paula did run to Tom's house although she was late getting there and when she saw no signs of life she ran home, only falling once (ouch!).

I don't know about you, but I was out of sorts all day without my Sunday fix of running group companionship!

Feb 25 Run: Tom's House

Tom will lead next Sunday's run. He is hoping that warmer temperatures this week will permit a run on the park trails. Start at his house: 5434 Aylesboro (near Forbes Ave).

For the fourth Sunday in a row a small group of us ran through yet another "winter wonderland" although it was not as bitterly cold. Today's run included a very snowy view from Schenley Oval, many more up-hills than down-hills, Tom's discourse on the correct definition of a blizzard and a brick house painted bright yellow which sparked some interesting conversation.
Sharon gets the running group consistency award for being the only one to turn up for Wednesday's morning run.
Wishes for safe travels and a good trip go to Elaine who leaves tomorrow for a 2 week trip to Israel to visit her daughter.

Feb 18 Run: Intersection of Woodmont, Murdoch, Plainfield & Inverness

Hello All
Paula will lead next Sunday's run.The meeting point is where Woodmont St., Murdoch Rd., Plainfield St. and Inverness St. converge. It sounds complicated but it really is not.

Here is a link from Google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?near=1319+Murdoch+Rd,+Pittsburgh,+PA+15217&q=Murdock+Rd+and+Woodmont+St&f=l&hl=en&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=40.444024,-79.930408&spn=0.007316,0.014291&om=1 <http://maps.google.com/maps?near=1319+Murdoch+Rd,+Pittsburgh,+PA+15217&q=Murdock+Rd+and+Woodmont+St&f=l&hl=en&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=40.444024,-79.930408&spn=0.007316,0.014291&om=1>You may need to cut and paste this into your browser.
If you are traveling down Wightman from Forbes, turn left at Woodmont and go to the second stop sign.If you are traveling down Wilkins toward downtown, turn left on Wightman (at CVS), take the first right on Woodmont and go to the second stop sign.

It was another chilly but pleasant Sunday run. More members showed up as cabin fever pushed people to bundle up and give cold weather running a try. It also marked the return of a short but sweet Coffee Tree gathering - winter always seems to be busier meaning less time for this luxury.

Feb 11 Run: Reynolds and Murtland

Karen will take us on a run through Chatham this coming Sunday, Feb 11. Meet at the corner of Reynolds and Murtland in Point Breeze.

Four of us braved the cold this morning and were rewarded by a sparkling clear view of the city from Schenley Oval. Yes, Tom did wear tights and Elaine taught us how to warm up our hands.
