Nov 21 Pre-Thanksgiving Run: Tazza D'Oro for a Highland Park Run

Next Sunday meet at Tazza D'Oro for a run through Highland Park. We are hoping Joanne will be lured out to lead us. Bring some $$ to buy luscious cinnamon rolls and coffee at Tazza D'Oro.

Run to the run will leave at 6:30 AM from Common Place Coffee - please pass by Shady and Wilkins to pick up any locals.

Not sure why this run felt like a special one but there were certainly many contributing factors:
  • One of EE Runners's favorite routes as evidenced by the 17 people who showed up! (see photo)
  • Stunning views of the city and the river from the 31st bridge (see photo)
  • Drop in visit from someone from my rowing team - I love it when groups collide!
  • Enough leaves on the trees to create a golden corridor on the River Trial
  • Painted stone duck at the new trail construction site and enthusiastic new member (see photo)
  • Return of Carrie after her ankle twist, of Pam who has been busy with a new job and of Carol who paid us a visit from up North
  • Melt-in-your mouth meles and smooth coffee at La Prima
  • A longer than usual post-race conversation during which I learned that the phones in elevators are linked a central service center not someone in the building and that the close door button on elevators is there only for show
Thanks to PtB for the photos!
