My Muddy Shoes

Saturday Trails With Muddy Shoes!

Hey Root Kickers and Tree Slappers,

Time to head out for some single-tracking here in MoCo. Great way to spend your Saturday morning cuz sleeping in after a hard week is waaaaay overrated. Why burrow your head into a comfy pillow in your cozy bed when you could be prancing (prancing? ReallY?) through the muddy forests of Patuxent River State Park? We do love these trails at this venue and the Sunshine General Store with one of the 10 best burgers in the DMV is right up the road. It’s that whole ‘run-hard-eat-what-you-want’ thing. Never tasted better…and these trails are luscious too!

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
• 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. 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.
