Hey Tuesday Trail Dogs,
WE ARE MOVING!!! Yes, indeed! It’s that time of year where we drag our asses back over to Lake Needwood and hit the trails on Tuesday evenings. We’ll still be traipsing through the Forests of Derwood, just a different part. Not to worry, the trails around Lake Needwood are just as awesome and you won’t need a head lamp!
Aside from the change in venue for the warmer months, everything else will be pretty much the same…we run…in the woods…on trails…simple as that! Lake Needwood also offers a few more options for trail choices. We’ll still start with a warm up run and we’ll still alternate each week from clockwise to counter-clockwise but we will be throwing in different trails and …da-dum – hill repeats!!!
So, before I give you the details here are weekly announcements:
· Registration is open for the 12th Annual Farm Park Challenge on May 6th! A great local trail event. This year it is sponsored by Muddy Shoes! C’mon out for the 3-hour, 6-hour, 8-hour challenges or the marathon. Folks are welcome to just sign up for the fun run too! More info at http://farmparkchallenge.com/
· Running in the Buff! OK, so that got your attention. And, no, we are not running naked…yet! But (or is it butt?) what I’m talking about are the brand-spankin’ new Muddy Shoes Buffs that you wear! Good news for all, a new batch of Muddy Shoes buffs are in and ready for you to spend your hard-earned dollars on to get one of these highly-coveted trail running accessories. Make your trail buds jealous! Get one! Get two! Only $10 U.S. dollars each (cheap)!
Please see Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau)
