***MUDDY SHOES SPRING-IN-2-SUMMER SATURDAY TRAIL SERIES!
IT’S STARTING THIS WEEKEND!!!APRIL 1st!
Hey Trail Dogs, Root Kickers and Mud Miscreants,
As promised, the Muddy Shoes Spring-In-2-Summer Saturday Trail Series is starting up this weekend April 1st (no joke!). WOOP-ITY-WOOP-DE-DOO!!! Tell your friends! Alert your family! Notify your co-workers! Gossip about it to your nosy neighbors! In fact, just run up to random people on the street, and tell them that for the foreseeable future you’ll be running on Saturdays with Muddy Shoes. Or maybe running short. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re out in the woods and on the trails with us. No yard work, chores, bed-making, child-rearing, etc. This is YOUR time! Not that any of them would probably give a S@*t but it will make you feel self-important!
Yeah, so, this Summer I am excited to be sharing Saturday long run leadership responsibilities with Coach Audrey from the Winter Trail Program. Her retirement is looming (How many days, minutes, seconds left, Audrey?) and I know she is excited to be out on the trails helping Muddy Shoes and so are the rest of us! In addition to myself and Coach Audrey we will have Mike C. and Mike E. helping as usual. That should cover all the bases!
So, let’s talk about what we have going for ya in the coming weeks. First, let me state, as I have many times before, it is the goal and mission of Muddy Shoes to cater to ALL levels of trail runners. Whether you are running longer or shorter, even walking, these runs are open to all. So, if you are only up for a few miles or the full distance you’ll feel welcome. Likewise, folks can complete the scheduled distance and do more miles on their own. You might have to put up with our slightly uncouth language and very questionable hygiene. So be it! It’s trail running, dang it!
We are still finalizing the schedule, hopefully adding a couple of different runs to change things up a bit. We also have the Muddy Shoes sponsored Farm Park Challenge on May 6th and Coach Mike’s Summer Phat Ass on 15 July.
Just a heads up for this Saturday, we will be doing the World Famous (not really) Meadowside Eagle Spotting Sight-Seeing Run at0730 at the Meadowside Nature Center in Derwood. Watch here for more details! Loads of fun.
Of course, with your generous donations ($) we will keep providing beverages and snack stuff after runs and aid on the course.
So, we’ll send out an announcement NLT Friday mornings about each upcoming run so stay tuned we’ll see all you Trail Slappers out there!
**Remember – THESE TRAILS AIN’T GONNA RUN THEMSELVES!
Cheers,
Coach Phil
