July 7 Run: Blue Slide Park (Beechwood and Nicholson) for a Frick Park run

Don't forget the standard holiday run on July 4 - 7:30 at Commonplace (thanks for the reminder, Virginia!)

On Sunday we'll start at Blue Slide Park - which still amazes as the star of the hit song by Burgh native rapper Mac Miller (I know I've said this before but it is so crazy it bears repeating - and do take a look at this video to see young Malcolm demonstrating the cardboard slide technique.)

Last Sunday we discovered a number of things on the Strip route as promised - first of all, we stopped to check out another running group setup we passed on our way - festooned with flags, tents, snacks, maps, the whole shebang - Fleet Feet Flyers (appears to be based at a running shoe chainstore) - surely this is way too much coddling.  We are the real item.  Then - the 31st St. Bridge is back!  We headed over to do a circuit through Herr's Island and back to La Prima in time for fresh meles once more.  Artists and art careers were discussed and relatedly? a brilliant fresh bouquet of flowers was rescued from the street by Wendy.
