TUESDAY TRAILS AT REDLAND AND OUTTA THE WAY CAFÉ!
Hey Trailies,
Well, after three Tuesdays off (two holidays and 1 snow day) we are ready to get back out there for the first official Muddy Shoes Tuesday evening trail run of 2025! Added bonus, it’s Outta the Way Café night for a post-run brew and chew! That’s the upside.
The downside? It’s going to be butt-ass freezing cold tomorrow. Like ‘Frightened Turtle’ kind of cold (Lets see how many of you get that Seinfeld reference). But, ya know what? If you layer up properly and get moving, you’ll warm up pretty quickly. Plus, once we are down in the stream valley, we are out of the wind. Much more pleasant.
*Just a little side note: I rarely read my horoscope and when I do it’s just for kicks. I mean, it’s printed right there in the paper next to the comics which is where I get most of my news (If Beetle Bailey said it, it must be true!). But I did glance at it today. It said (and this ties in to our run and the Outta the Way mingle afterwards), I quote “This is a lovely day to socialize! Get out and interact with others. Meet friends for…happy hour…dinner or casual get-togethers. Sports events and fun activities…will please you!” So, there you have it. I’m going with my horoscope! It can’t be wrong! Go, Aries!
Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for the New Year!
