To celebrate Superbowl Sunday we are going to run through Steeler vendor central in the strip, visit various displays of Steeler enthusiasm downtown, and take a trip around Heinz Field before returning to La Prima for coffee. Note that this is about a 5.5 mile run - a little longer than some, if time makes a difference. Wear your Steelers colors!!
We will meet at the parking lot at 21rst and Liberty (I think there is a sign that says Liberty Commons). It is on the side of Liberty away from the river - turn left at the light at 21st street, if you are going into town. There will be cars leaving the Coffee Tree for the meeting place at 6:35 AM.
This was a "Tom in tights" run - so you know it was chilly but we must be getting used to it since a fair number of people turned up. We speculated on the cost of some very nice houses for sale as we ran through Shadyside, Pittsburgh's version urban quaint. The run was also an opportunity to discuss the virtues of various cold-weather gear, the Israel/Gazza conflict and our Inauguration experiences. It is hard to wax poetic about Pittsburgh in the dead of winter, between pot holes, dirty cars and a general feeling of wear. Still the early morning sky was that clear blue/violet for a while proving that there was some beauty to be found in the bleak cityscape.
