TUESDAY TRAILS AT LAKE NEEDWOOD

Folks,
Needless to say, it’s a tad bit warm out there. Frankly, the conditions are going to be hellacious! We are under an extreme heat warning with feels-like temps that could hit 110. Nothing to mess around with. Given these conditions we will dial it waaaaaay back tonight. No sense messing around with Mother Nature.
So…..pay attention!
- No warm up. I think folks will be warmed up from just getting out of the car. We’ll start at 6:15.
- Course adjustment. We’ll stick to two loops around the lake. One clockwise over dam. One counter-clockwise in reverse. Total 5 miles.
- Walkers just do one lap. 2.5 miles.
- Recommend everyone bring a water bottle orn hydration pack.
- You should be hydrating ALL day. TMI – but your pee should be a light straw color. You’ll need to check that on your own. Muddy Shoes does not provide that service!
- Watermelon and ice water will be provided post-run.
First announcements:
