This coming Sunday's run will begin at Tazza D'Oro (http://www.tazzadoro.net/) on Highland Ave. Once again, I am hoping Joanne is reading this and will graciously appear as she usually does, or else we may be seeing parts of Highland Park that we did not anticipate. This will be the first run of March and coincidentally was the first run of October 2007 so perhaps it marks the changing of seasons.
Meet at Shady and Wilkins at 6:30 - 6:35 AM for a run to the run (it is about 2.5 miles).
Those of us who ran down to the run this morning were reminded that "bridge surfaces freeze before road" as we skated over the Panther Hollow Bridge. But we made it across it ,as well as the Hot Metal Bridge which at least had some snow cover - but we did have to stop in the middle to take in that magical panorama of the city rising out of the river mist. We turned away from the South Side and were rewarded by a view of the pale winter sunrise over the glassy river. The trail was peaceful although we were noisy as we crunched through the crusty snow - Pam likened it to popping bubble wrap. It was one of those gorgeous blue-sky, white, crisp wintry mornings that remind you what a beautiful city Pittsburgh is.
