30 percent chance of change of venue for Sunday....

Hi I hope everyone is enjoying their week. Yes as of now- the plan is to run out in El Moro on Sunday... however there is a 30 percent chance of rain tmr... I called the state park and it is open today... he said if its a lite drizzle or lite rain the park will remain open... However if its heavy rain then we can't run at El moro and the park will be closed.
Plan A- El Moro
Plan B- "field trip"
We will meet at Snails Pace Laguna Hills @ 5:50am (24741 Alicia Parkway #K, Laguna Hills, CA 92653).
We will carpool to a place called the Candy Store, its off Ortega Hwy. For those that have a time issue you can follow us to the Candy Store... if you can not make please email us back that way we don't wait around. Feel free to email or txt me @ 714-651-3632


See you Sunday!
o ya we have some Catalina Coupons for the boat ride its 7.50 dollars off... we will bring them on sunday to pass out to the group.

Trail Tales Gets Dirty!

Great job on getting dirty on Sunday! Everyone did great for our first mud run! YAY! I have to say it felt like I had 10 pound weights on each leg! I guess I need the workout. :)

I loved seeing all the animal tracks in the mud and our creature feature from John Wayne's old cabin!

I am mailing in our Catalina entries this morning! So those of you who still wanted in, you are on your own since yesterday was the deadline. I am also booking the house today, and those of you that told me you wanted to stay in the house, I need your payment to pay them and hold the spot. I do have 1 bed left in the house if you want to join us, so let me know! $75 for 2 nights is a great deal!

Northface...Will be here sooner than you think! I need to know who would like me to book them a room for Northface in Union Square. Otherwise, I will assume you are taking care of your own reservations, and figuring out your way to and from the race as well.

This weekend We have 12 miles for the 25k group and 20 miles for the 50k group. We will assume that the rain will stop and be meeting again in El Moro at 6am for the 50k group and a nice 8:20ish am start for the 25k group. That way the 50krs can get a 10 miler in, and then another loop with everyone. :) the 25k group can go an extra 2 miles and if the 50k group is feeling good, extend theirs too.

Next weekend Sunday the 7th is my Birthday weekend, and I choose Chantry for Sundays run. It is an awesome run, my absolute favorite, and we all have 10 miles, so it is a perfect choice, and my birthday choice. If you have a birthday choice for your birthday, let us know so we can work that in the schedule too! :)

OC Trail Tales ramps up the mileage this weekend.

Everyone did a amazing job last weekend and dealing with the weather conditions.

This weekend we will have the 50k group run 20 miles and the 25k group run 10-12 miles...
we will run from Dove Canyon aka Bell Canyon to Casper's at this turnaround there will be water and a bathroom. For the 50k group please carry at least 60oz of water in your packs- carry some extra electrolyte powder in your bag and use it in your hand held. Lets meet at 6am and get cracking this time! this is a long run and people do have other family commitments so lets be courteous and be prompt.
