Mar 20 Run: CommonPlace Coffee for a S. Oakland Run

Next week Aimee will lead us on a new run that will include the Parkway Shrine, Oakland Square AND Schenley Park - sounds great, yes?

The time change got in the way of several people's run this morning, leaving Wendy to run solo to the S. Side and shiver while she waited for 5 more of us to show up. With a few clothing additions, Wendy was good to go and we had a calming run along the river-side trail past UPMC, toward Sandcastle. I think it was the lack of other runners, the flat trail and silvery/gray/brown landscape that felt soothing. Roye and I saw and heard seagulls, a summer sound in a winter scene...

Some of the late sleepers joined for coffee and chat. Today's topics ranged from iPhone apps, dress size expansion, personal shoppers, gift giving strategies (or how to get what you want) and a place to stay on the Island of Vieques where we all immediately wanted to go: Sea Gate Hotel.
