July 2nd

Big thank you to Renee of U Hydration and Nuun for stopping by, informing our runners about their product and offering us samples! Scroll down to the "Websites and Events" section for their webpage.

Also, mark your calendars! Laura Guest of inMotion Fitness will be at our run on Thursday, July 16th, to offer a free clinic on Foam Rolling & Stretching for Injury Prevention. Bring your friends! Everyone should learn how to prevent themselves from running injuries!

Last week Sara's tip was to add more "dynamic stretches" to your pre-run routine. You can find out more about dynamic stretching and a series of exercises Here. Static stretching, like the kind we all learned back in our childhood years, should only be performed post-workout.

Since this Thursday comes right before our nation's Independence Day, and a lot of folks will be checking out of work early, we'll offer everyone a flat and fast course (at least whenever the wind doesn't play a factor).

Remember, try to get to the store (327 Grant Ave) by 5:30PM. This way you can get ready and head out earlier if you'd like to go at your own pace. Otherwise you can head out closer to 6PM. We'll have post-run refreshments available for you when you return.
