While we may look innocuous, our running group seems to be on a crime spree. This time we were stopped while looking at the new performance space next to Heinz Field. Who knew that this was the parking lot where many of the Steelers and city officials left their cars while they were in Dallas, or that a group of people posing as runners (which we kind of do) had stolen 16 cars last week from a near-by lot?! The security person, driving a bright gold car and in Steeler garb, said the security cameras had picked us up as we ran around Heinz Field. Somehow I can't imagine that we looked suspicious but maybe those other car thieves we imitating us. This incident just added to the general hilarity of today's run for which many turned out in Steeler colors. There were a few "Go Steelers" moments and even someone blowing what looked like a mini-air horn as we toured around downtown looking for Super Bowl related sites. We repeated the photo from 2 years ago in front of the Steeler Tree in the Courthouse courtyard. I admit a few of us shrunk down a little when a security guard approached even though the gates were wide open. My personal favorite was the big dinosaur in front of the Art Institute which had a piece of cheese in his mouth and Troy Polamalu hair.
A large number of runners, including Tom! returned to CommonPlace for coffee, disrupting the quiet but having a great time. Wendy's friend Anat was in town, making the run and coffee a little more special. It was a good start to a gray Sunday in February.
