Jan 17 Run: Parking Lot @ 21rst and Liberty for a Strip/downtown run

Meet in the parking lot at 21rst street and Liberty Ave (I think it is called Liberty Commons) for a loop around the Strip/Washington's Landing/Northside/Downtown and back - perhaps coffee and pastry after at La Prima, so bring some $$.

We could carpool from the Coffee Tree in Squirrel Hill if people felt so inclined. Send email if you are willing to drive down.

Since our luck with out of neighborhood runs has not been good lately, please check your email on Saturday evening if the conditions look dicey.

Amazingly 12 runners turned up for a very wintry run this morning. Despite the frigid temperatures we headed into Frick Park, which was snowy and empty. The sun was rising as we ran along the trails and it almost was as if we were cross country skiing - until we hit the long uphill to the Nature Center. But at least it warmed us up!

It felt like we took over the Coffee Tree especially when Iain and Paula joined us. As we sat big fat flakes of snow began to fall covering up the dirty slushy bits and making the walk home just a little magical.
