East End Runners

So many decisions could have been bad!

Aug 31(at 7AM) and Labor Day (at 7:30 AM) runs: Coffee Tree

Because so many people will be out of town and those that will be here may be sleeping in, we decided that the Coffee Tree was the best option for this coming Sunday.

Labor Day there will also be a Coffee Tree run but because it is a holiday, after all, we will meet at 7:30 AM so everyone can sleep in for a 1/2 hour.

Runs will be created on the spot by whoever turns up.

Today's run in Allegheny Cemetery was as interesting as promised although so many of us ran to the ran that we short-changed everyone else by inadvertently keeping the run on the shorter side. Still we did see parts of this very large and verdant cemetery that we had not visited before. As always there was wild-life - a herd of deer and a flock of Canada Geese. We re-visited the big Jesus like statue holding the duck of peace and ran by the field of obelisks overlooked by a saint-like woman with a scythe - honestly, this cemetery has it all! I have it add it also has hills - plenty of them and steep. Perhaps next time we can forgo the run to the run and do a longer piece in the cemetery, there is so much to explore.
