Jan 4 run: Phipps for a run to the top of Oakland and more holiday runs

I really meant to run with the group this morning but overslept! My husband and I had a blustery run along the North Shore instead but no inflatables.

Pam Murray sent a note to say that next Sunday's run will go to Herron Hill which I think is where the water tower sits in Robert E Williams Park. If this is correct, then last time we ran this (Aug 17) we met at Phipps.
A run to the run will leave the Coffee Tree at 6:45AM.

In addition to the usual 5:45 AM Forbes/Murray runs there will be alternates on Wednesday and Friday starting at 7AM from the Coffee Tree.
There will be a 7:30 AM New Years Day run starting at the Coffee Tree (start 2009 off right!)

And finally Pam sent along the information below about Canaan Valley, WV
