Hey Trail Goobers,
Get ready for the last blast of Summer on the trails! That’s right, Summer ends Saturday. It’s been a long hot one, but Autumn is now knockin’ at the door like a little, obnoxious trick-or-treater. We do have a lot coming up in the next two months so be ready and stay tuned!
But we still have to get through our run Saturday, so put those crusty trailies by the door and get ready to lace them up. This week we are going to redo the original plan from last week. – meet at Watkins Mill H.S. for a nice jaunt North on the Greenway towards Damascus. Temps will be fine and there will be some humidity but otherwise a great day.
OK, announcements then details:
- For the 7th year in a row, we will be hosting the Stone Mill 50 Course Preview Runs. For the unfamiliar, what we do is divide the Stone Mill course into four sections. Each Saturday in October we run a different section. Run all four and your feetsies will have been on the whole course. Good way to get a look-see at what awaits you if you’re racing. However, these runs are open to everybody just like our regular Saturday runs. You can do the whole thing or just a few miles. All are welcome! Donations will be accepted! 😊
- Ten-year commemorative Muddy Shoes T-shirts are still available. Short and long sleeve. Sizes are running slightly large so order down one size. Buy them here mymuddyshoes.printify.me
- Starting next Tuesday our evening runs are moving to Redland Middle School. Get your headlamps ready!
