Hey Trail Doggies,
Ready for a little trail therapy on Saturday? We got what the Muddy Shoes doctor ordered! 13 ½ miles taken once daily followed by stretching and some sweet and salty snacks and bevs and, of course, the post-run mingle (bring a chair!). That oughta fix ya right up!
This week we’ll be heading to the Northern confines of MoCo to hit some righteous and wonderful single track on the Ten-Mile Creek and Danger Noodle Trails. You’ll be getting great scenery as well as a great workout. The weather peeps are betting on it being ~59 and sunny at run time. Sweeeeeeet! Hope they’re right! So, get out and enjoy this weather while you can cuz the heats-a-comin’!
OK, announcements, then run details:
Muddy Shoes swag is still available! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Re-usable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.
Mark your calendars! The 8th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Fatass is on the books! Join us Saturday July 12th in Seneca Creek State Park for a great trail event and pot-luck after-party hosted by Coach Mike Chau. Muddy Shoes will be supplying beverages, proteins and condiments. It’s free (maybe shove us a couple of bucks in the donation box if you can). Please sign up here so we can plan: https://www.facebook.com/events/1442752650470959/?notif_id=1748314199437866¬if_t=plan_admin_added&ref=notif
