We will look for signs of spring in Schenley Park next week - meet at the Wendy Bennett Trail Head (aka entrance to Schenley Park below the Oval) at the corner of Bartlett and the Boulevard.
People who would like to run to the run and a little more should meet at CommonPlace Coffee at 6:15AM.
Aimee led us on a tour of North Oakland this morning that included places we had been before but not in that combination. We took a longer look at Oakland Square than usual and for the first time noticed it looked out onto Panther Hollow. Then on to the Parkway Shrine, which we have not visited for a while. It looks like it has been lately renovated with new benches and a little grotto. All of this was tied together with a few jaunts into Schenley Park. Aimee used the neat iPhone App from MapMyRun to track it so you can see our exact route here:
Here is the route. It starts at my house, so the group run part would be 0.5 miles less. Next time I'll start it from the coffee shop.

Those that were left after this lovely but longish run, enjoyed a leisurely coffee which included an iPhone app session - something that is becoming a regular part of our discussions. The fear is we might abandon conversation and just check out our phones - not really! But it is fun to find new tools. Along with the afore mentioned MapMyRun app, two food apps were recommended: Cake Love and Mark Bittman's app.
