January 21 Run/Walk: meet at Biddle's Escape, 401 Biddle Ave. in Wilkinsburg

Next up: we'll meet at another fave, Biddle's Escape, 401 Biddle Ave. in Wilkinsburg (map).  We can go from there to Frick Park which may be frozen solid.  Or see the fancy houses in Edgewood.  Or head for parts unknown.

Last week, another twofer:  Day 1, only the brave (not me) made their way over very slippy streets to Trace Brewing.  After they trekked through the snow in Friendship (appropriately named) they were treated to magical Bulgarian pastries. Which they ate with their brewskis (well that was the plan.) Next day was the holiday run in Squirrel Hill, luckily with dry streets, where walkers made the pilgrimage to Wendy's teenage smoking steps (newly renovated) and B'nai Emunoh (only Wendy can pronounce) and runners went I know not where. There was as always much discussion in the warm, familiar 61C.   

  • Hotties (for hands and feet) are not as hot as they used to be!  Other types on the market, rated here, are better, this one is tops and RG endorsed: Ignik Resealable Multiple-Use Hand Warmers.
  • Guest appearance by the amazing Sarah, mega-marathon runner and fount of endorsement wisdom, i.e. 3ROC locally owned outdoor rec store (has consignment too), Rab jackets, Darn Tough socks (esp. these), and back by popular demand, the Sarah Sports Bra.
  • The AAA road crew, ask for Leonard if possible.
  • To fix it yourself, you may need to delve into the Suburu Dark Web
  • Likar Roofing - or else, Señor Gonzalez (Wendy has his number.)
  • Buffalo Rose Concert tomorrow (Friday) at 8 pm, Thunderbird Cafe  - be there!
