Next Sunday is a Greenfield run led by Aimee, starting at the Wendy Bennett Trailhead.
This Sunday’s run gave a bleakly hot summer day a cool and refreshing start at least. Wendy and I, leading from behind much of the way in time-honored tradition, brought our sizeable group down a newish cool and shady path through Frick Park, zigzagged by cute hopping bunnies and misty slanted rays of sun. We crossed over Commercial St., and followed another newish path to the Monongahela dock where a day of fishing and beer apparently starts early. Nobody defected at that point however. Detour to adorable Duck Hollow and an analysis of its tiny ceramic animal shrine in relation to the Blessed Mother one. Climbed the killer hill back up to Summerset, where we marveled at its resemblance to a set for The Truman Show. We considered leaping over the gate into the pool, the second time on the run we were almost seduced into our habitual brush with the law, the first being the earthmoving equipment whose gigantic seats and shovels were just perfect photo ops. Oh well - maybe next time. Coffee was delightful as usual enhanced by a super pumpkin bread made by Carrie (maybe this is the one) and talk of summer weekends away. This led to endorsements: The Cambridge Suites in Torontowhich provides free bicycles, and Jeni’s ice cream in Columbus which is also available at ruinous (but maybe worth it) expense at Whole Foods.
