May 2 Run: Mellon Park - corner of 5th and Beechwood

Those not running the Marathon or 1/2 - meet at the little play park where Beechwood meets 5th. We can participate vicariously by running on the course :-)  For those driving to the run, I would suggest parking on Beechwood or even Reynolds.

It was another run just made to vex Tom right from the beginning when Wendy offered the group a choice of routes and it only became worse when a breakout group offered yet another choice later in the run - way too many decisions for one run! Still he seemed if not not happy at least resigned to his fate :-) All of this indecision was off-set by the beautiful morning. It must have been the rain the night before that cleared the air because the sky was bright blue and sunlight filtered through the new leaves in Schenley Park in an especially pleasing way. The runners ahead of me on the trail were framed in leaves and streaming sunlight,  making a picture worthy of an ad/magazine. Perhaps because we all expected storms the lovely morning seemed like an unexpected gift. As we sat outside for Coffee and that old summer vacation feeling crept up on us and we lingered longer than usual.
