We made it through another month and summer is around the corner! It has been so inspiring to see all the bonds that have continued to develop throughout MRTT - from crazy early themed run meet-ups to new members connecting with others - we are so lucky to have this group as a place to come together and run! We had a busy month, so check out the highlights below in our May blog recap.
CAUTION - Summer Running is Hot as Hell
If you have ran in the summer in Texas, there is no getting around it - it's hot! You won't look anything like the lady in this picture, instead you will be soaked from head to toe since your body will be working much harder on those Summer runs. The good news is, running in the Fall will seem like a breeze! During the summer here are some tips to keep you moving:
Your pace may be slower. Read more here about what to expect.
Listen to your body. If you start feeling off, you may need look at ways to change up your run to adjust to the heat from fueling to nutrition.
Run early or late to avoid the hottest times of the day.
Plan to take in a lot of water.
Boob Ice anyone?
Body Glide everywhere!
Here is an article that you can read for more tips!
Flat Runner May Challenge
We loved seeing all of our Flat Runners out this month! Our sponsor LifeCycle Nutrition sponsored this event by giving our group a special service through the month of June. Contact them to find out more details or ask a chapter leader! Check out a few of our flat runners:
CG & MRTT - WUT WUT!
Several ladies in our group utilize Camp Gladiator as a way to cross train, stay motivated or love it as much as running. As one of our sponsors they hosted a workout this month just for us! We had a great turn-out, great workout and loved all the awesome giveaways they had. Big shout out to all the ladies for showing your support by coming to this event - it means so much to us as a group and your presence is the best way we can give back to our MRTT sponsors! MRTT also gave away a free race entry compliments of Frisco Running Company to one of their Get Racing races - we love these local races.
Drink Up with Moulden Studios
Look at these awesome ladies showing off their newest drinkware accessory from Moulden Studios, another awesome MRTT sponsor. Check out their store by visiting this link. Anyone else wondering what is in these cups?
Enjoy the View
We have taken in some amazing views this month, thanks for sharing!
Miles with Miles
I'm starting to consider that I need to travel with Miles and his frunners. He has a packed social calendar and continues to have a pretty impressive travel schedule. Can't wait to hear about the next Miles event and see who he ends up with next!
Out for a Run
We love all the miles and smiles from May. This group just keeps on moving - one foot in front of the other! Lot's of ladies coming back from injuries, trying trails and just simply getting it done. Regardless of crazy schedules, lack of sleep, bad weather or just a case of the lazies - keep going, we love seeing you all active and inspiring everyone!
Race Day!
This month was a comeback month for many! From getting back into running to putting up some amazing PR's, this group never stops moving forward. Congratulations to everyone who was able to get out there this month and earn those medals and memories!
