SATURDAY TRAIL RUN WITH MUDDY SHOES

Hey Forest Joggers!

Saturday is here again so we must head out into the forests of MoCo for some good ole fashioned trail running. Actually…its not ‘ole fashioned’ at all. I’m pretty sure my Grandparents didn’t hit the trails and pound single track like we do with our fancy-shmancy  trail shoes, Garmins and hydration packs and what-not. No, Sir! But apparently they did walk to school and it was up hill both ways…in the snow! Or so they say. Well, we will be going up hill as well. And down hill too!

This week we’ll be smack-dab in the middle of MoCo and hitting the Seneca Ridga and Greenway trails. Little different in  that this course is a loop as opposed to our usual out-and-backs. You can still do a shorter route or add on at the end to make it longer. Ask me, I’ll explain how.

Weather should be OK. There is a chance of showers but you know what they say? “April showers bring May flowers!” Although May flowers tend to bring pollen!

There will be water at Rt. 118.

Couple of announcements first then run details:
