TUESDAY TRAILS WITH MUDDY SHOES
TUESDAY TRAILS WITH MUDDY SHOES
Hey Forest Joggers!
We are back to Tuesday! Seems to happen same day every week! Love that kind of consistency.
Runtime weather should be precip free after a wet morning but humidity will be up. Good weather for getting acclimated to the DMV Summer (which is inevitable). So come join us – we might smell bad and mumble an occasional irreverent word or two but we’re generally friendly! 😊
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¬if_t=plan_admin_added&ref=notif](https://www.facebook.com/events/1442752650470959/?notif_id=1748314199437866¬if_t=plan_admin_added&ref=notif
- Another ‘mark your calendar’ event coming next Saturday when Rob and Shannon will be hosting our weekend run from their home right over the DC/Moco border adjacent to the Lower Rock Creek Park trails. Muddy Shoes will be supplying some of the goodies as usual but it will also be a pot-luck so feel free to make-bake-and-bring! Stay tuned! Heard there might be some adult beverages after to wash things down.
