Yo Rock Kickers and Root Lickers!
I almost feel that I don’t even have to write a blurb extolling the wonders of trail running to try and get folks to come out this evening. Have you been outside yet? Suh-Weeeeet! OMG! It’s mid-August. We are in the DMV (known for its H &H) and it feels like late September! We’re looking at a run time temp of 80 with only 38% humidity! That is so dry we might start a brush fire if we run too fast! Anyway, I’ll take it! And I’m sure you all will too! No excuses!
Still got Muddy Shoes merch for sale – Baseball Hats ($15), Buffs (410) reusable cups ($5). It may still be Summer, but the holidays are fast approaching. Shop now!
