Hey Dust Kickers, Root Chuckers and Other Assorted Trail-Lovin’ Miscreants,
Time to hit the trails of MoCo for some miles and well-deserved, self-administered Forest Therapy! Come enjoy slappin’ your feet on some awesome single-track while communing with nature along the way. We all know that exercise is good for your well-being (body and soul) but so is just being out in the woods and enjoying the surroundings. I think they call it Forest Bathing. Nonetheless its stress relief at its finest! AKA Forest Therapy. It’ll bring your blood pressure right down. It’s got the Muddy Shoes Gold Seal of Approval. And you’re invited!
Weather will be Summer-like but not as oppressive as last week! Maybe a splash of mud from Friday’s showers.
While I have your undivided attention lets do the announcements and then the run details:
· T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! Get’em while they’re hot! The 10-Year Anniversary shirts are flying off the shelves! Very comfortable unisex moisture-wicking shirts that fit true-to-size with a custom design (Thanks to KLD Design https://www.kld-design.com) on the front and one of our Muddy Shoes mantras on the back. Available in both short and long sleeves. Several color options to choose from! What’re ya waiting for? THESE SHIRTS AIN’T GONNA WEAR THEMSELVES!
· 7th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Fatass is coming up on Saturday July 27th. Great run on the trails of Seneca Creek State Park followed by an awesome pot luck post-run mingle. Muddy Shoes provides burgers (some veggie), dogs and tater tots. Sign up at the 7th Annual Summer Fatass page on FB. $15 donation appreciated! Throw in $20 and you’ll get a Muddy Shoes reusable cup!
