Summer Sweat!
Electrolytes come out of tubs, packages, and bottles in force, no longer are they only an edge reserved for long or hard runs.
Ironman logo-ed visors, runningcaps and trucker hats come out in force to protect our gray matter from the heat of the sun, while others' heads are naked, exposed to the sun, getting closer to blaech-blonde with every run.
The River's Trail. Moonscape. Kenna Cartwright. Peterson Creek.
All of these names inspire different emotions is each of us. Excitement, Anticipation. Dread. Memories of past runs, both achievements and failures.
Summer means you are no longer the only runner out at 5am in the morning, or at 9pm at night. There are others like you, and they are out in force. Babyjoggers, families, tennis shoes. All of these come with summer.
And after a long day awaits the reward for your efforts: be it your favorite chocolate bar, Blizzard, or Scoopz ice cream. Or maybe after a hot, sweaty run, it's cool of the river that awaits you.
One thing is for sure: summer is unlike any other season.
Enjoy it while you can, time is running out!
