Nov 2: Run through the Strip - 21st and Liberty

I heard from two people that it was decided to do a run through the strip. I assume we will meet at the parking lot at 21st and Liberty Ave. The lot is on the side of Liberty away from the river - turn left at the light at 21st st, if you are going into town. Last time we ran through the strip, across the 31st st bridge, along the path to the 9th st bridge and then back, which was a nice flat run.

La Prima opens at 8AM on Sunday so we might want to make our run a little longer :-) For those who did not run last time, the pastries and coffee were scrumptious.

PS. Last Sunday's run was great. The run-to-the-run through a now greatly expanded Somerset development was well attended. We saw the day dawn over the river by the Waterfront and out-paced a barge.

Oct 26 Run: Waterfront Run - flat and fabulous

Elaine Mormer is back! and she is leading a run on the Waterfront Trail this coming Sunday. Meet at the smokestacks by the Longhorn Steakhouse.Tom promises that he will drive down and so he can ferry at least some people back.

Elaine is also leading the run to the run: meet at the "J" corner (Phillips and Shady) at 6:25 AM. Google maps says it is 3.2 miles - I figure it will be shorter as you can cut through Somerset.

Today Karen lead us on another Fall Spectacular run through Frick Park. At one point we ran through a tunnel of gold leaves - truly a run for the season especially given the chilly clear air.

I won't be here next week so someone please let me know where the next run will be.

Oct 19 run: Homewood Ave entrance to Frick Park - Fall Colors II

Continuing to enjoy the Fall colors in our own backyard, meet at the the Homewood Ave entrance to Frick Park (at the traffic circle) for a run through another of our beautiful neighborhood parks.

The Steve Faloon Trail provided a stunning view of the golden tree canopy in Schenley Park this morning. I felt like we were running in an Ansel Adams photograph seeing the various layers of trees and colors all around us. The temperature was perfect - cool but not cold and the sun was coming up - a great seasonal run.

Oct 13 Run: Wendy Bennett Trailhead - Fall colors

Meet at the Wendy Bennett Trailhead (corner of the Blvd and Bartlet St) for what could be a run through the fall colors.

I was not around this weekend but I am sure that the run on Sunday was a good one!
