East End Runners

So many decisions could have been bad!

Dec 7: 121 Richland Lane

The first run in December will be an early holiday present in the form of a themed run, followed by coffee at Cheryl's home at 121 Richland Lane. If you are not sure where that is, click here for what I hope is a map of the house. Cheryl suggests that you park in the Factory (building where the East End Food Co-op is located at the corner of Penn and Braddock) parking lot and walk over. Her home is up the street on the left, next to the apartment complex, before you reach Tuscarora. There is no parking on Richland and very limited parking on Tuscarora. For those running from the East End you can run down Reynolds to Ben Hur, turn left at the fence, traverse over a short unpaved path and you will be at the other end of Richland Lane.

Our running group luck held and although it was cloudy there was no rain for a run through Oakland lead by Tom. The highlight was a stop at the newly renovated Schenley Plaza fountain (http://www.popcitymedia.com/developmentnews/schftn1015.aspx), another turtle adorned sculpture (the other being the Westinghouse Memorial by the CMU campus). We also tried out the "new trail" up the bank of Serpentine Road. It was a comfort run for the last day of November 2008.
