TUESDAY TRAIL THERAPY AT NEEDWOOD
Hey there Forest Joggers!!
Ready for a little dose of Trail Therapy? Leave all your stress and worries out in the woods. Nothing like pounding your feet on some single-track to clear your head and maybe, just maybe, get you to stop grinding your teeth (we all do it!). So, here are Dr. Muddy Shoes recommended trail therapies for specific stresses you might be having:
Work – 5.75 miles
Traffic – 5.75 miles
Kids – 5.75 miles (per child)
Economy – 5.75 miles
Zombie Apocalypse – 5.75 miles
OK, now, guess how far we are running today…you got it! 5.75 miles!
Sometimes I’m amazed at how these things work themselves out! You don’t even need a prescription! Ain’t life grand?
