Jan 30 Run: Starbucks at the Waterfront for a Find the Labyrinth Run

Elaine will lead us on a run to have a look at the Labyrinth that was build at the Waterfront sometime last year. Meet at the Starbucks at the Waterfront at 7AM. Here is some pre-run reading: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09165/977328-437.stm

Those who want to run to the run meet at Colfax School at 6:20 AM - this assumes running down Beechwood which is 3.3 miles to the Waterfront and allowing a little fudge factor. It could be less if Sommerset is still passable. Comments on this are welcome.
I will drive and probably arrive 20 mins earlier to get in a bit more of a run. Please let the group know if you are going to drive so we can be sure there are enough cars.

Our run through North Point Breeze turned up some surprises as always. We managed to find East End Brewing (http://www.eastendbrewing.com/) whose business model does not include advertising its location and investigated the new site of Burg Bee's apiary which is just across the street (http://www.burghbees.com/index.php). We ran on some back streets in Homewood and on a great land bridge over the busway checking out a little bit of suburbia built just by the busway.
But the highlight of the run was a coffee and knitting session at Terri's. Terri generously provided not only coffee but breakfast too!! While we sat chatting Roye gave knitting lessons - what a wonderful way to spend a gray morning in Pittsburgh!
