SATURDAY TRAILS WITH MUDDY SHOES

Hey Mud Bugs,

Hope ya’ll had a great time on the Fourth stuffin’ your pie-holes full of calories and such. Time to repent your gluttony and epicurial excesses and hit the trails! We are going to burn some calories while enjoying what nature has to give out there in the woods. Then, after the run we mingle and…you guessed it…pick up on the gluttony where we left off yesterday with all of our treats back at the home base.

Weather should be normal for July around here. No precip forecast and the humidity will slowly dip throughout the morning. Sweeeet!

Come join us!

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 a couple of bucks in the donation box if you can). Please sign up here so we can plan accordingly: https://www.facebook.com/events/1442752650470959/?notif_id=1748314199437866&notif_t=plan_admin_added&ref=notif
