What's on Tap!

We had another busy fun filled weekend this past weekend! Saturday Pete and I were out at Run into the Wild, with our booth set up to meet new potential trail runners. We had a great time, and met a lot of great people, and saw some friends too. A few of our members battled the elements. Congratulations to our Trail Tales Members- Keri, Elizabeth and John! The conditions were wet and muddy for our runners. A little mud will not hold our runners down! :) Just fyi... Did you know if you stick around at many trail races there is a raffle at the end? Some runner won a Jagermeister machine! I am SO jealous. Other prizes included Gift Certificates to REI etc...and Corrinne donated some buff's n cuff's.

Allison, the Race Director informed us that there will be a summer trail race series with a concert at the end... how cool will that be :) more details will follow. That will be a fun one to participate in and bring the family too.

For our 50k/50 Mile Leona Runners- I hope you enjoyed a nice rest week. I understand some of you took advantage and treated yourself to a massage. If you didn't please consider one prior the Leona race. There are countless benefits of getting a massage! I have a great gal I use if you need her information and don't have anyone. Just let me know! For this coming Sunday for Leona group...

Fun filled running weekend!

Another fun filled running weekend! We explored some new trails due to the rain on Saturday with the Chili Group. Got a bit lost and ended up on a game trail, but recovered and found our way back to where we need to be. A little initiation for our new member Lisa! :) You guys did awesome!

This weekend is Into The Wild in Irvine Regional Park. The 10k starts at 7:30, and the 21k starts at 7am. Please give yourselves enough time to get there, and get your packet pickup and be ready. Remember, we will have a booth, so you can find us easily and keep your stuff there as well.
Let me know if we can have anything else there that you need.

Leona group! WOW, you guys are really doing awesome! You have been going going going now for what seems like months. Its time for a break, and this week is a rest week, so relax...get a massage...take a nice break and really pamper yourselves, and take care of your bodies. Its time to eat lots of antioxidants, and green tea as to not get sick. We will be ramping back up again in a week, so enjoy! We would love for you to be at Into The Wild as well, the 21k is calling your name. Remember the discount code... "OCTRAIL" If you are going to do it, awesome, just remember nice and easy day. :)
