Feb 3 Run: Coffee Tree, Squirrel Hill

The first run in February will be a mystery run (who knows who will lead or where it will go) from the Coffee Tree.

Although it was warmer than last Sunday, only four of us turned up for what Sarah Allan would call a "snow-globe" run. I had misgivings as we headed into Frick park, thinking that the trails would be to slippery, but it turned out to be a wonderful morning to be in the woods. I know one of these days we will have less than a stellar run but this was not it. Snow was falling as we wound our way down to the meadow and its wintry landscape. We discovered the final extension to that magical 9 mile run trail that brings it out almost to Commercial Ave. I admit we did walk the steeper parts up to the nature center due to the footing which made every step a little bit like 2 but it was well worth the effort. Once again we met up with the cheerful walkers at the Coffee Tree.
