Hey Trail Heads,
I’m AWOL this Tuesday. You’re all grown ups (at least on paper!) so I trust you all know what to do this evening…run your butts off, keep your eyes on the trail and make sure everyone gets back safely. That’s not so hard!
While I have your attention, many, many congrats to all the bad ass trail dogs that came out and ran the Farm Park Challenge this past Saturday. The rain added another level of challenge but, man oh man, were there some tough cookies out there! Also, many, many kudos to all the volunteers for coming out to support. It was a great event!
OK, now for announcements then details:
- Did I mention that 2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of Muddy Shoes? Yup, ten years ago we had our first run. To mark the occassion we will be getting some commemorative swag to celebrate. Stay tuned. Save your money! T-shirts are coming?!
- Save the Date! July 27th! The Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Phat Ass on the trails of Seneca Lake! More details to come! Stay tuned!
- Muddy Shoes Saturday Trail Runs have started! Regular Saturday runs that take us to trails and venues that you might not have seen in a larger group. We also provide after-run refreshments (remember ice cold mini-Cokes and pickle chips?) and chit-chat. Mingle with your trail besties! Keep an eye out for details sent out each Friday.
- We have swag! Muddy Shoes Baseball caps (a mere $15), Buffs ($10) and Reusable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau)
