Next Sunday: a Frick Park run - easier on the joints - starting at S. Homewood and Reynolds entrance to the park.
Two runs in succession in cool sparkling weather conditions this holiday weekend. First, led by Virginia, through Edgewood and Regent Square, exclaiming over beautiful old Pittsburgh houses, leafy streets and gigantic hills (the latter was of course cvetching.) Some of the group followed up with the gorgeous breakfast at the Square Cafe - where they have square coffee cups - and I just now figured that out. Our Labor Day run began at Commonplace Coffee (we're not even starting at CTR anymore??) and perhaps because of that, in a startling break from precedent, Tom (Esq.), and "Respect the Run" enforcer Elaine both instigated and allowed multiple diversions from the initial plan, and as a result we were able to Salute Labor at the entrance to Magee Hospital, and see the grand vista over the top of the golf course behind CMU. Coffee did have us back at our old table outside CTR but only because CC was closed. Joined delightfully by a new runner who found our blog and was attracted by our apparent attention to coffee (plenty of evidence here.)
Endorsements: One Thousand White Women, and The Secret Scripture (books); breakfast at Square Cafe; The Moth Radio and Podcast; Lady Gaga; the weird, fascinating homemade fence of motherboards, ancient bikes, vintage vinyl records spotted somewhere in Regent Square; free trips. And coffee, wherever.
