Jun 15 Run: Coffee Tree for a run to the Parkway Shrine

It was decided it was time for a run to the "Parkway Shrine": http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/9433 , so meet at the Coffee Tree and enjoy visiting a unique Pittsburgh site. The run will be about 5 miles long (for people who like to know these things).


Six of us braved the heat and followed Karen on a run through Frick Park - a cool choice in all ways. I saw parts of Frick park that were unfamiliar to me although not to other more seasoned park runners. We also had a chance to visit with several new canine members of runners' households. In lower Frick we met Carl and Hannah Mormer with their sweet new puppy and Janet Katov's dogs (one who is also a very cute puppy) greeted us at the end of the run. Despite several people heading straight home, we managed to monopolize the outside of the Coffee Tree joined by long-distance runners (Chip and Terri) and walkers (Elaine, Ann and PTB). We gave into the summer vacation ambiance and had a long, leisurely visit.
