This coming Sunday, let's get back to our old friend, the Strip, for an oldie but goodie, followed by the local favorite, La Prima coffee. It's been too long since we've enjoyed those warm almond meles!
This past Sunday, we had quite a large group of intrepid souls willing to run in the soggy weather. Unfortunately, it rained for almost the entire run, but it was delightful nonetheless. Michelle led us through Edgewood, Swissvale, and Wilkinsburg sections of Regent Square as well as a loop through Frick Park. We saw wildlife! An opossum crossed our paths after giving us quite the dirty look! We saw history! Old Pittsburgh trolley tracks! We saw commerce! Active train tracks! I would say this run met Elaine's definition of a "designer run" given all these attributes.
Unfortunately, we were all so waterlogged and damp that we didn't stay long enough to record endorsements at the sleepy but beautiful City Cafe (former shoe repair shop turned into a beautiful cafe with a pressed tin ceiling). It's so hard to believe that only a few days ago for the run, it was warm enough to comfortably run in the rain-- oh how quickly things change. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for Sunday's run. If not, grab those buffs and cashmere mittens!
