Halloween Run: Common Place Coffee for a Cemetery Run

Since next Sunday is Halloween we thought it would be appropriate to run in our local cemetery, which should be decked out in fall colors. Given the holiday everyone is requested to wear a costume related item (or two) to celebrate. So dig out your boas and cowboy hats....

Tom took us on a truly diverse run today - from the back alleys of Oakland to the leafy alleys of Schenley Park. He ran us by a newly painted mural that was right next to the building where several runners work. While there Tom claimed that cathedrals had two steeples - which is why the church in mural had to be Heinz chapel even though it looked like St. Paul's. The hill-sides of Schenley Park looked somewhat muted - not the blaze of color I expected but there were some moments where runners ahead were framed in gold and the scene looked like a photo from a running calendar. Unfortunately we saw no inflatables - maybe next week!
Coffee discussion was entertaining as always and Sharon, who is on the injured list, stopped by for a visit.
