May 9 (Mother's Day) Run: Coffee Tree

Race for the Cure is next Sunday. If you are not running in the race, meet at the Coffee Tree for an improvised run. For those running the race, Tom offered his house/driveway as a meeting place. The race starts at 8:35 so I guess meet any time after 8AM (we did not clarify those details). I will be at the RftC - could those on the regular run please choose a run for the following Sunday?

Hope everyone who ran in the 1/2 marathon enjoyed their race, despite the rain. We thought of you!

A small group of us had fun running through the back streets of Shadyside and then returning on the race course, which had been closed off by that time. We were cheered on by volunteers and serenaded by a band that was warming up - it was a small sample of what awaited the runners although we were in less pain (I think). Today was also what might have been a running group first: no-one stayed for coffee! Instead many of us grabbed coffee and went off to cheer the marathoners who I have to say were more appreciative than I might have been at the 16 mile mark.
