March 3 Run: Strip run - parking lot at 21st and Liberty

Next week we are planning a run around the strip, starting at the parking lot right above Liberty Ave. at 21st. St. and criss-crossing a few bridges. We will hope to end with warm almond meles at La Prima - I wonder if we can call in an order?  If I think of it this week, I'll try.

This week we headed from Regent Square to the top of Pt. Breeze, and back through the cemetery, a cold grey quiet Pittsburgh morning that our group tore through making it sweaty, colorful, and raucous - that's our job!  But where were the deer and that tubby little groundhog?

Was there some talk of a run through Braddock?  Sarah and Wendy say there are some murals we can't miss, and perhaps we can get Mayor Fetterman to come along, since he seems to be available for PR ops.  Most of the group peeled off before coffee at the newly configured and still cute Biddle's Escape - now they have a table just for us!  Four of us still covered a lot of verbal territory, all of which escapes me since I forgot to use the napkin technique.   We welcomed back Michelle (!), who recalled the origin of our sainted coffee hours, which she started with Karen and Virginia in the olden times, hugely increasing our happiness quotient.
