TUESDAY TRAILS AT NEEDWOOD & OUTTA THE WAY CAFÉ!

Howdy Forest Joggers!

Well, I have to say, we DO need the rain. So that is a good thing! I mean you can’t live up to being a true Muddy Shoes-er if you never hit the mud, right? So much of the morning rain will taper off this afternoon but there is a chance of thunder-boomers at run time (PSA – we don’t run when there is thunder). But today is the 2^nd Tuesday of the month which means…(drum roll)…its Outta the Way Café night! So, we run then eat and mingle. Sounds like a plan to me!

OK, announcements, then run details:

Muddy Shoes swag is still available! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.

Spring/Summer Saturday runs are happening! Coach Audrey and I have teamed up to keep all you trailies occupied on your Saturday mornings throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. Also, will be having the Summer Fat Ass (hosted by Mike Chau), the Stone Mill Course Preview runs in October and the Phantastic Phall Phat Ass (hosted by Coach Robin). Stay tuned for run info!
