August is one of those funny months; you're either finishing up training or right in the middle, finished with vacations or trying to get your last one of the summer in, getting ready for school to start or wishing you had just one more month. August brings so many events and opportunities to us. With all our anticipation the hot humid weather has returned. Look below for two great articles on hydration and nutrition. Come in and see us for the newest colors in Vibram Five Fingers or pick up a pack of Nathan Power Wash Wipes - for those times you just don't have time for a shower after your run. There are so many exciting things in this newsletter, take your time to get through it all.
