End/decline of summer runs this coming weekend: 7AM on Sunday, 9/5, meet at the tennis courts on Braddock Ave. for an Edgewood run. Bring a few extra $ if you want to eat breakfast afterwards at the Square Cafe (highly recommended). Sleep in on Labor Day - meet at 7:30AM at the Common Place Coffee shop in Squill for a runners' choice route.
We had a pleasant summery run up (and it is UP) to the top of Oakland to visit the park and water tower that looks out over what seems to be all of Pittsburgh. Because of the trees, it was not possible to see as much detail as in past visits, but the view clearly illustrates why Pittsburgh is a green city. The neighborhoods look so different from above, like you had been plopped down in another city, making it fun to guess what you are looking at. Our run down once again took us past places I had not seen before - so typical of Pittsburgh where you can take 5 different routes to get to the same place, each taking you past something interesting!
We welcomed back Janet, who seamlessly joined in as if she had never been gone - a true virtue of this group, you can move in and out with ease.
