This Saturday, I went to Lindsay's turf to run the Oakmont Arboretum Trail. Oakmont is known for two things. One is Oakmont Country Club which holds the US Open every now and again. The second is Oakmont Bakery which happens to be our "brunch" this week.
Burn: The Arboretum Trail is a nice, easy run. It's a paved trail along the railroad that cuts downtown Oakmont in half. The websites list it being 1.4 miles long. Unless we missed a portion of it, my Garmin had it being .8 miles long. Luckily, Lindsay and I were only running two miles today, so an out and back from her house sufficed. Then a stroll to the bakery was a nice cool-down.
Brunch: The Oakmont Bakery. The picture left is of one of the seven cases of goodies ranging from bagels and bread to cakes and cookies. Oh, let's not forget the rows and rows of donuts that they have on the walls. You can't order something bad at Oakmont Bakery. This is why they've been around for so long, and why the once, hole-in-the-wall bakery I remember going to as a kid is now remodeled and living up to the posh Oakmont standard. I ordered a Paczki (a Polish, filled donut) and Lindsay ordered a maple, bacon donut. Yes, you read it correctly. This donut was covered in maple frosting and crispy bacon. There is truly something for everyone at Oakmont Bakery. It also has a full coffee bar and a cute little sitting area if you don't want to take you confections to go.
