Feb 22 Run; Wendy Bennett Trailhead

Thanks to Paul C (the brain) for the excellent report from this past Sunday's run. Funnily enough (well to me anyway) the last time the announced run was on the Wendy Bennett Trail, Paula was the back-up recorder.... we will see if a pattern emerges.

Next Sunday the run will begin at the Wendy Bennett Trailhead (Overlook Drive entrance to Schenley Park). We will take advantage of the 7am light skies before we lose them to daylight savings time. Meet at the Coffee Tree at 6:45 AM to run there (it is 1 mile).
 
Report on last Sunday's run in Highland Park: Despite the absence of an announcement of a run-to-the-run, a few creatures of habit showed up at the usual place at the usual time anyway to enjoy the pre-run. Impressively, Cheryl, arriving late, successfully intercepted the run-to-the-run and ran most of it. Deftly brought out by Anne Jane's email the week before, Joanne led a delightful run through Highland Park. During coffee at Tazo D'Oro after the run we learned yet another talent of Molly's - playing the fiddle. Better yet, we learned that the group she plays with will play at Murphy's Grill at Forbes and Braddock on March 14th 'all evening' (more precise times may be forthcoming). However, the report that Murphy's allows smoking was met with a spontaneous group groan.

While you were enjoying the charms of Highland Park, Dave and I slipped into the back of the pack in the Austin Marathon. We took guilty pleasure in the cheers and the many bands along the part of the route we ran. This reminded me that I have been remiss in finding out the details about teams and relays for our own Pittsburgh Marathon and will do that soon.
