This is your best post yet! Mud = therapy. I hope everyone has a great time.

Take pics and post'em next week.

Yeah! Will be fun! I rode the route Wed on my MTN bike and saw lots of deer and riders on horses (we are going by/through Parkey's with the horse riding camp). Pretty muddy back there though : )

I think we have 6-7 so far?

yeah, we should have that many so far. you should get after fraser and kathy for this one! he owes you one after that fiasco on your mtb's last week. i'm going to email Spot.

Ah, photos - check! Especially after. I'll be sure to hit all the mud I can as I'm still "testing" those new Inov-8 shoes - great so far.

Muddy like bring old shoes muddy?

How long of a drive from Muncie, IN? Mapquest says 95 miles but 2hrs driving! Can that be right? I do need to get new running shoes, so is there a store 15-20 mins nearby so it could save me a trip to Indy?

Y'all need to set up some obstacles - mud pits, jump some fences, climb some trees, run up some steep hills, or something. Make it into an adventure run.

lol--funny! don't give rroof any ideas though, ok?

hehehe.

come on people...i know you're out there.

ok, did you mean to respond, or do you just like to quote me?

lol...

Wow, that didn't work at all. :)

I meant for you to respond to my first post in the thread. Look up!

I'm in, if one is going to be cold and wet, it is best to be with other cold and wet people. And I race cyclocross so I'm used to being muddy

i couldn't agree more. :)

Sleepy - ya, sure shouldn't take 2 hours from Muncie, but who knows. What size do you wear? I have a STOCKPILE of shoes and there are many stores around (in fact, to entice you, I have a $25 credit that you can use at one if want : )

Hey, we can make this an "adventure" run as we will be running through Parkey's and they have the horse steeplechase stuff all set up. We could also try to chase down the deer that we will likely see - major points if you actually catch one :)

I'm a size 10 in adidas, nike, and i believe asics. I have some old shoes, though. I just got scanned for e-soles and they come in next week. I've been told not to buy until I try the shoes on WITH the inserts. One leg is over 1 cm shorter than the other, so with the built in lift compensation shoe fit is more insert dependent than normal I suppose. (thoughts?)

I'll prob. just run with the shoes I've been wearing since they have about 450 miles on them and i'll replace them soon. They're already pretty dirty.

Holy crap; how tall is a horse steeplechase?! LOL.
Catching a deer is easy. Mounting one and riding it, now that's tough!

Yup - just wear some old shoes if you come by. With a large group, we won't be going fast/hard anyway (exept perhaps racing up some hills and waiting for the goup). e-soles can be pretty thick (an inherent problem with their design), but you shouldn't need another sized shoe unless you by/like them small.

Sorry, I'm a 9-9.5 : )

Be fun to meet (well, before the TripleT anyway)! And you just can't resist meeting the one and only Kittycat!

Gotta come clean, I don't have the wheels to run down a deer.

Oh, forgot to mention since this park is huge. Meet by the big lake on Winton Rd. at the largest building with "Winton Pavilion" on the front, near the boathouse.
