Jul 19 Run: Hobart and Leath for a Vintage Grand Prix Run

Paula TB has carefully plotted a route through Schenley park that ends at the car loop plus she is offering "coffee and cake" at her new house to all runners - what a deal! Meet at the corner of Hobart and Leath.

Pam Murray has been busily thinking up runs to spice up our repetoire and this past Sunday's was a great example of that work. We started at TRRA and ran the river front trail toward Millvale, catching glimpses single sculls on the serene river as we ran. After a sharp but short uphill we arrived at St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church where we stopped for an all too short look at the murals: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08196/896877-51.stm We continued through Millvale proper where we took in some of the local sites (Mr Smalls http://www.mrsmalls.com/, Jean Marc Chatellier's Baker http://www.jeanmarcchatellier.com/ and the new Pamela's Diner). Although many of us were "knackered" due to the heat and humidity we agreed it was a special run and made plans for a run that would start (and end at) the diner!
