SUNDAY, MARCH 18TH - TRAIL RUN AT CHICOT STATE PARK!! Leaving from the shop at 6:30 a.m., or meet us at the trail head at 7:30.  I am planning on doing an out-and-back run - probably for a total of 10 miles, but you can do any distance you want by going in further, or turning around sooner.  REMEMBER - these runs are completely self supported.  You have to carry everything you may need for the run - fluid and nutrition.  Carry a little more water than you think you might need.  Just because you can run 10 miles on the road without drinking doesn't mean you can run 10 miles on the trails without drinking. Email me with any specific questions - Edie at geauxrun@gmail.com.

Thanks for all of your support!  I am looking forward to sharing the trails again with you soon!!
