TUESDAY TRAILS AT REDLAND
Hey Muddy Gang,
I’m sittin’ here this morning writing this all cozy in my flannel pj pants, a comfy sweatshirt and a pair of L.L. Bean plush moccasins with a warm cuppa Joe and near freezing rain pelting the windows and it hit me…cozy?!…WTF…we’re trail runners! We don’t do ‘cozy’! We don’t do ‘plush! We don’t do ‘comfy’! No. We purposefully do the opposite…the uncomfortable! We suffer with a smile. I know this behavior baffles many of our friends, co-workers and family but so be it! We are who we are!
…but…I digress…
Checking the weather reports, we might have a shower or two around at run time but the brunt of the precip will be outta here by runtime. The trails will be moist to say the least, but we’ll get the run in! Join us! Nuthin’ cozy or plush about it!
Ok, couple of announcements:
– We will be holding only ONE more Saturday Muddy Shoes trail run this year this weekend on Dec 6th. Stay tuned for location announcements!
– Winter Trail Program registration is open! If you are wondering how to keep going on trails this Winter when Muddy Shoes goes on their Saturday sabbatical, then check it out! Here is the link to sign up! https://mcrrc.org/training-program/winter-trail-program/
– Holidays are coming and Muddy Shoes swag is still available at pre-tariff prices! Shop now! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Re-usable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.
