My Muddy Shoes

Hey Trail (Hallo)Weenies,

Well, we are almost through October. Seems like we were just at Needwood dealing with the heat and humidity and, all of a sudden, here we are. Right up against Halloween with Turkey Day looming right behind. I was thinking of dressing up as a DNF Ultra Runner this year. Whadya think? If a grown man dressed like that with caked-on mud and grass and sticks in his hair and skinned and bloody knees (fake blood, of course) came to your door mumbling “Trick-or-treat”, would that be worthy of candy or a call to the local police? That’d be scary!

Oops, I digress (as usual). Tonight, we’re in for some nice dry, pleasant Fall weather so I expect to see you out there. Stone Millers can just come out and take it easy as you are starting to taper. Mingle with your trail buds for inspiration. It can be quite invigorating!

OK, enjoy the meme I pulled out from years past!
