TUESDAY TRAILS AT REDLAND AND OUTTA THE WAY CAFÉ!

Hey Trail Toads,

Welcome to another Trail Tuesday here in the Forests of Redland! Looks like we’ll be able to get this run in, dodging whatever snow we might get – not lookin’ like much, if any, at this point – and head over to the Outta the Way Café afterwards for our first post-run nosh and mingle of 2025! Make no mistake, it will be chilly but once you get down in the woods and start moving you warm up fast.

I was out on the trails yesterday at the tail end of the windstorm and it is in good shape. There are a couple of smaller trees down, but runners can easily step over them. Otherwise, a little mud here and there but nothing to worry about.

Here’s another small detail for this evening, I won’t be there. I’m forsaking all of you to do some Grandparenting. Sorry, but that takes priority since I don’t get to see the little tikes too often. Either way, I’ll let Catherine know to have a table for 12 ready at around 7;30 so you’ll be all set!

OK announcements then run details:
