Howdy Forest Joggers,

Well, Summer ain’t here yet. Still a bit chilly and dreary but on the bright side, it is Trail Tuesday. So, we run…in the woods…life is good!

We’ll be back at Needwood this evening for our trail trot. Details to follow the announcements!

· Only two days left to register 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. 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)! We also have official Muddy Shoes hats for $15!
