While today was not meant to be an adventure run it turned into one. It started out innocently enough, we ran through Squirrel Hill all decked out for spring and down into Panther Hollow to Greenfield. As always we blithely ignored the "Stairs Closed" sign at the foot of the very long staircase (good exercise for the quads and butt) up the hill to St. Rosalia's Academy. About 1/2 way there were no more stairs! Granted the steps that had been there had some gaps but they were still claimable. Faced with retracing our route (yuck) or moving forward, this intrepid band scaled the very steep hill-side studded with glass with not one injury or pulled muscle. Look for a link to photos commemorating the climb.
Sharon, PtB and Iain joined us for the usual rowdy coffee hour. Discussion topics ranged from the Royal Wedding to a recommendation for the very long series of novels, Game of Thrones: enough reading (or listening) to last a long time.
Finally a reminder that Sunday, May 15 is the Pittsburgh Marathon. Quite a few of the members are running some or all of it.
