I would like to suggest a mutiny for tonight! Who’s up for a Southern Village run tonight followed by crpes? The crepes truck is at the farmer’s market until 8. So we could meet at 6:15 for 4 miles (any route suggestions) and still have time for crepes!
who’s in?
Upcoming Runs:
Thursday: 4 easy miles @ SV @ 6:30
Friday: Soggy Sole Swim @ CC ~ 5
Saturday: VisionWalk

Two big events this Saturday! Please come out and support both good causes!

In the evening is the Silent Auction at Fleet Feet to support the PTA Thrift Store. Mary B. has forwarded me the items going up for bid! [N.B. Where's the BS basket?]
Another blazing weekend! First, thanks to Natalie for getting us out on the Tobacco Trail and a delicious brunch. Second, thanks to Bea and Kelly for organizing the Memorial Day Briar Chapel run [that I missed 😦 ].

The trails with you may they be…
Two blazing runs for the weekend!
First, tomorrow is Natalie’s potluck run. Be at Coriander Court by 8:30 for some flat Tobacco Trail miles. Bring some food! (PS there have been some assaults recently on the ATT, but no where near where we will be!)
Second, Bea and Kelly (our Pittsboro contingent) are organizing an 8AM Briar Chapel run on Monday. We are not meeting at the CITP, so here are directions:
South on 15501 toward pittsboroRight into Briar Chapel development
Left at the first cross walk you will see parking on the right at trail head
"Kelly and I will make sure there is ice and water mid run but it is good to carry, best to carry water I want to start at Catullo so you all can enjoy the hills which we will do ultra style. Kelly and I have run enough together to show u the flow of well paced, peaceful miles No one is too slow, it is only strength that is important. Those going a bit quicker can circle back thus getting more trail. 7 miles option to add (or subtract) a bit
Plan to get very dirty and sweaty! Last sat we sat down to rest!" Bego
There are three upcoming charity events in the next several weeks that are near and dear to the Soles. Please consider signing up or helping out in some way!
Thank you to all who are already committed to participating! You are good Soles!

May the trails be with you…
We survived Blue Ridge last night! To start of training for BRR, we ran up to Blueridge Avenue in Carrboro and kicked its hilly butt! Then we went to Tyler’s Speakeasy and ate too much food in honor of the birthday boy. That a great way to start training in my book…
Sad news: Nana’s dear friend, Neesie, passed away this week. Some of know her through Nana and others through her amazing driving skills on last year’s BRR. The memorial service will be at 3 on Monday at Chapel in the Pines. I am passing the virtual hat around to make a donation in her name from the Blazing Soles. Let me know if you are interested in contributing.
Sunday run: Mary will lead us through two loops of Lake Trail on Sunday, so we will do 8 miles in total. Part at the high school on Seawall in the corner of the lot nearest the trail entrance. Let’s meet at 8 (ten minute window as usual). With graduation weekend, we might be stuck for breakfast, but I would think the crepes truck will work. Who’s in for this run?
May the trails be with us!
Mary B. asked me to invite the Soles to the PTA fund-raising silent auction at Fleet Feet on 6/2. We could donate a free Soles membership! Seriously, does anyone have any ideas for a BS auction item?
