On the Run - June 2022
IN THIS ISSUE
Global Running Day News
Along with encouraging everyone to run on this special day, the 1st Wednesday in June, you likely saw all of the shopping opportunities to fill your closets w/ shoes, clothes, and accessories. One that might have slipped past your radar is that Garmin introduced the new Forerunner 255.
We all know that fueling is important, too. I found it interesting that the potato council jumped into the celebration by suggesting we eat their favorite vegetable.
If you're deciding on your next vacation, you can choose from this list of great running cities. Los Angeles is on the list, but I'd extend that to include our backyard right here in the OC.
For some truly global news and a reason to go to South Africa next year, read about the Under Armour All Out Mile.
Last, but not least, we runners are looking out for the environment so that we can all have cleaner air to breath during our favorite sport.
