TUESDAY TRAILS AT REDLAND

Hey Mud Shuckers and Tree Slappers,

Well, all “that’s what she said” jokes aside, it could be a wet one tonight. Tracking the weather and we might squeak through most of the precip (which we badly need) and still have a great run. Actually, thinking back over my years of trail running, some of my most epic runs were when we were out in inclement weather. I know many of you can attest to that. Some of you were with me on those runs! Besides, like I always said when I was coaching “The more shit you run through, the less shit will affect you!” Think about it. It’s along the same train of thought that says “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.” Right?! So, on that note, dress appropriately and we’ll see you out there for a potentially epic run! 😉

Ok, couple of announcements:

– We will be holding only two more Saturday Muddy Shoes trail runs this year. They will be Nov. 22nd and Dec 6th (no scheduled run on Thanksgiving Saturday). 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.
