January 14 Run: 61C Cafe in Squirrel Hill and we'll go from there

So it's going to be freezing again, but this time we're determined to layer up and go out there.  Aren't we?  The Riddler Rule says it's OK if it's over 10 below.  Since we didn't come up with a plan, we'll start at the trusty 61C and try to find a new route - could there be one after all these years?

Walking is now a thing!  (It was just waiting to happen.) We've got walkers AND runners, so if you don't feel like running and want to power walk instead, come on down!  We all end up communing at coffee.

2 weeks ago is already too long to remember how the run went, but there were 2 in a row on Sunday and Monday - Happy New Year!  Cold did not deter us, and the fireplace at the Bakery Square Coffee Tree definitely deserves another visit.
