Hey Trail Dogs,
Time to slip on your dusty old trailies and head out to Lake Needwood this evening. The weather won’t be a problem. The trails should be relatively dry but there is a small chance of a shower. We need it! We’ll do the usual warm up followed by the main run around the lake.
OK before the details here are the announcements:
– Muddy Shoes merch is selling like hot cakes! Don’t miss out! Not only do we have Muddy Shoes baseball hats ($15) and buffs ($10), we have official Muddy Shoes re-usable cups ($5)! Great to carry with you to lower your carbon footprint on the planet! Plus, they look awesome! Please see Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau).
– Get Ready! The 6th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Fatass is coming up on Saturday July 15th. This is an awesome low-key trail event located in Seneca Creek State Park followed by a fun post-run potluck feast and mingle (Muddy Shoes supplies meat and plant proteins and some other stuff). And, yes, we’ll have an alcohol permit so there will be adult beverages to enjoy in moderation. Not sure if the permit will cover weed since it will be legal.
