After today's inventive run we decided to take a break on creativity and meet at the Coffee Tree in Squirrel Hill. Route will be decided by whoever shows up. I will be in Austin and would appreciate it if someone would email me the location of the following Sunday run.
It was a testament to the promise of a new run from Cheryl (or perhaps the coffee afterward) that 11 people showed up on this blustery and snowy morning. Although the run was made slightly shorter at the request of chilly participants, we toured a wide variety of neighboorhood schools, dropping off runners as we veered by their houses. I think the final total was 7 schools: Sterret, Linden, Children's Institute, Whightman, St. Bede's, New Church School, Shadyside Academy. Five of us stuck it out to the end and were rewarded with scones, nutbread, muffins, fruit, coffee and as always, lively conversation in Cheryl's cozy kitchen. While the streets were snow covered and the wind chill was noticiable, it was a run to remind us that once out there, it is not as bad as imagined and can even provide unexpected pleasures.
