We're Trucking Along!

Happy Friday, everyone!

It's a great day, as our planning committee is meeting later this morning. Always a fun time when you're surrounded by running and fitness enthusiasts - even better when we're working together for a common cause....to benefit the youth of Hutchinson!

We hope that you're doing well in the heat that only summers in Kansas can provide. I'm still amazed that we never really experienced spring this year.

Speaking of the heat...how is everyone doing with their runs and training programs? We're about 12 weeks out to our big race - a common time when training programs kick in! Check out our training information for tips. Another excellent resource is the Runner's World Smart Coach (go to www.runnersworld.com). I have used this FREE tool for a variety of races - from 10Ks to half-marathons to the full marathon. I love it because it's not only FREE, but it allows you to create your own workout regimen that fits your lifestyle. You plug in the info, and it does the rest. Glorious!

Feel free to share your tips in our comments section or e-mail me at aconkling@hutchrec.com. Who knows? Your tips could appear on our Website!

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate in these hot summer days, fellow runners. And you've heard it before, but I'll "preach" it again - try to get your workouts in during the early morning hours or late evening hours, but be safe when doing it!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
Amy
