MOVrun
MOVRun hosts different running events than most are used to. MOVrun has the
smallest carbon imprint possible. It is the most ECO-friendly run you can ever attend.
There are no disposable cups used,
no "welcome bag", or T-shirts handed out. People have been brainwashed to think they have to take home something from
every event they attend.
MOVruns are the smallest, most earth-friendly runs on the planet with 10 to 100
participants.
Start your first MOVrun 5k

Tips to Stay Cool in the Summer
I usually do my running on a treadmill
in an air conditioned gym.
However, I do occasionally run outside
even in the summer.
Either way, here are some great tips:
- Run early in the morning.
- Drink H2O, even if you're not thirsty.
- Wear light & lose clothing.
- Wear sunscreen.
- Run with others.
- Cover your head with something that 'breathes'.
- Pour cold water over your head.
- Change your route.
- Start slow & easy - especially if you're not used to the Desert heat.
- Wear running shoes!
- If you're going out for a long run - carry water.
- Be careful for heat exhaustion - signs & symptoms on a previous newsletter.
- Decrease your speed! This is no time to go for a record breaker.
- If you can, finish with a swim.
- Safety at all times!!!

Thought for the Weekend |
"The Runner" a short story by James Tabor |
"Out of the silver heat mirage he ran. The sky burned, and under him the paving was a black mirror reflecting sun-fire. Sweat sprayed his skin with each foot strike so that he ran in a hot mist of his own creation. With each slap on the softened asphalt, his soles absorbed heat that rose through his arches and ankles and the stems of his shins. It was a carnival of pain, but he loved each stride because running distilled him to his essence and the heat hastened this distillation."
Stay fit - mind, body & spirit
