The
Running Room Club Update: August 9, 2006
Sudbury Store (Cedar Pointe Plaza)
Hi Everybody!
I hope everyone is enjoying this awesome weather
- it's great that the humidity of the previous weeks has
finally gone down. The amount of sunshine we're experiencing
is also going down...the autumn season is on its way!
Speaking of sunshine, its time for this week's
tip! Make sure you're protecting your body from harmful
UVA and UVB rays by (1) wearing opaque clothing which covers
as much of your body as is possible and practical, (2) wearing
1005 UVA and UVB protective sunglasses, (3) a hat to shield
your eyes, and (4) SUNSCREEN!!! Sunscreen is necessary to
protect exposed skin, including skin not protected by opaque
clothing, from harmful UVA and UVB rays. The amount of SPF
you require will vary with the amount of time you expect
to spend in the sun as well as personal factors which may
dictate a higher SPF. Choose a sunscreen with the appropriate
SPF which is both water and sweatproof. Sunscreen should
be applied approximately thirty minutes prior to any outdoor
activity and should be reapplied frequently when sweating
heavily. On days when you are completing longer runs it
may be beneficial to have a small container of sunscreen
wi! th you, so that you can reapply as necessary.
This week's product highlight: new FuelBelts!
FuelBelt has come out with a more feminine version of an
old favourite. The CRUSH angled single bottle carrier (retailing
at $29.99) offers even weight distribution, no bottle-bounce
and an adjustable fit in an eye-catching lavender. Ask one
of the Running Room staff to help you fit this product,
in small to extra large.
