Hey Mud Chuckers and Forest Joggers,

Ready for some trail therapy?! Should be a good evening for it. Extreme heat and humidity are taking a break although there is a chance of a thunder boomer. We’ll see. Weather peeps around here seem to be guessing half the time anyway. So, we should get the run in. Hope to C U there!

First announcements then run details:

· 7th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Fatass is coming up on Saturday July 27th. Great run followed by an awesome pot luck post-run mingle. Muddy Shoes provides burgers, dogs and tater tots. Sign up at the 7th Annual Summer Fatass page on FB.

· T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! Get’em while they’re hot! The 10-Year Anniversary shirts are flying off the shelves! Very comfortable uni-sex moisture-wicking shirts that fit true-to-size with a custom design (Thanks to KLD Design https://www.kld-design.com) on the front and one of our Muddy Shoes mantras on the back. What are ya waiting for? These shirts aren’t gonna order themselves!
