Happy June, Trailies!
Welcome to the first Saturday Muddy Shoes run of June! While not officially or meteorologically Summer, it’s darn close enough! Weather peeps are giving us a run time temp of ~68 degrees. Humidity will be a little bit high but should drop as we run. Nonetheless, be prepared to manage your hydration and electrolyte intake. Might want to use some glide stick where the sun don’t shine to avoid chafing. Nothing worse than finding out where you chafed when the soap hits!
Anyway, this weekend we return to the sight of the first Saturday run that we did this season, Meadowside Nature Center and the Kengla/North Branch trail. We won’t do the sight-seeing tour but folks are welcome to visit all those places we visited back in April if they can remember how to find them!
Anyway, here are the weekly announcements before you get the details for tomorrow:
- MUDDY SHOES MERCH! Be the envy of all your trail friends by accessorizing with Muddy Shoes baseball caps ($15), Muddy Shoes buffs ($10) and are ‘just arrived’ Muddy Shoes reusable cups ($5). They make great gifts too! Remember the Winter holidays are only 7 months away! See Coach Phil or Coach Mike C.
