Hello Everyone!
Well, it looks like we're back into a deep
freeze for the next couple of days. After getting spoiled
with some warmer, sunny weather we're getting a reminder
that winter doesn't end for another couple of weeks.
What is a couple of weeks early this year
is the change to daylight
savings time. Remember to put your clock ahead one hour
before going to bed on Saturday. This has
big implication to making it to Practice Club on time Sunday
morning.
Tip of the Week:
Remember to properly hydrate throughout
the cold weather. Freezing water can be a problem so wear
your water belt underneath your jacket, closer to your body
to take advantage of all that heat you are producing. Being
properly hydrated allows your body to regulate temperature,
transport energy and nutrients, and remove waste products.
A well-watered runner/ walker is a happier runner/ walker.
Water belts are available in a wide variety
of styles. Single bottle angled torso belts, four-bottle
belts, three bottles and a gel pack; there is a belt that
will meet your particular needs as a runner or walker. The
Running Room staff can help you select your perfect hydration
match!
Sunday March
18th at 8:30am is our St. Paddy's Green Fun Run.
We will have a FREE 5K and 10K Fun Runs. There is a little
Irish in everyone! Find your green hats, sweaters, and tights
and come celebrate with the shenanigans of St. Patrick's
Day with us!
Lunch and Learns
