Feb 20 Run: Parking Lot at 21st & Liberty for a Presidents' Day Run

Meet at the parking lot at 21st and Liberty Ave in the Strip for the usual Strip Loop which includes crossing onto Washington's Landing or maybe we will head up the the 40th St Bridge which actually is the Washington's crossing bridge (check out the link) - you get the idea. Wherever we run we will end up at La Prima for coffee and pastries.

There will be a run to the run starting at Common Place Coffee at 6:00 AM (previous starting times have not been early enough).

Note that I have also finally created a googlegroup for this list. This will make it easier to manage and also preserve the privacy of group member's email addresses. You can use the group name to send email to everyone in the group:eerunners@googlegroups.com

Today's run was full of small treasures from the Center for Imagination and other interesting Garfield sites to the musical cherubs on the restored fountain in Mellon Park. It helped that the weather was comparatively mild and the pavements were mostly clear. Thanks to Roye for introducing us to yet more of our city's fascinating neighborhoods.

I think that our coffee sessions are starting to last longer than the runs themselves (and the runs are not getting shorter) - which is a real treat. As always the topics were far ranging and I was at only one end of the table.  Here are links to some of the information shared:

On the subject of how do you organize the notes you collect at work - online or on paper, Pam Murray introduced us to these notebooks:

Sharon, who is cautiously coming back from an injury, joined us for coffee with a "right-sized" bag from Baggallini that she bought at Newmans but you can also order them from Amazon:

Two recommended Audrey Tautou movies:

While we were discussing movies this podcast was recommended even though they did not like "The King's Speech":
