Our goal this month is to help you get ready for the TMC Meet Me Downtown 5K Night Run and Walk.
In recent columns, we’ve talked about nutrition (eat colorful food, try to eat local and nonprocessed food, and keep hydrated) and we’ve talked about injuries (learn to tell discomfort from injury; rest before getting hurt; and get help when you need it).
This week, we’ll talk about some of the equipment that you need.
