First Day of Summer

Wahooooo... today is the first day of summer!!! And, do you want to know what's GREAT about SUMMER... just about EVERYTHING! However, exercising in the heat and humidity can be quite draining... so here are 5 "cool" ways to ensure that you swim/bike/run/etc. your best:

1. Run early, indoors, or in a pool (on an awesome track)
2. Make sure that you are well-hydrated (tips on hydrating before, during and after a run; sports drink selection)
3. Eat "frozen sweets" to refuel and rehydrate after a workout... wow, independent confirmation that Locopops are great after Tuesday nights at the track!
4. Protect yourself from the sun... skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S.
   
5. Wear the right clothing - technical shirts to wick sweat, hats/sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes, and no basketball shorts!!!
