You Should Be Hydrating NOW for Your Weekend Race

Summer Temps are Here

Last Saturday, I ran a 10K in 66° weather with just 51% humidity. We've enjoyed mild temps in St. Petersburg this Spring, but that changed today.

​Summer is coming, and the forecast for Saturday's Run For All Children 10K is 81° and 77% humidity. That's a big difference — time to increase your fluids so you're ready to running in the humidity!

The race shirt is 100% cotton. It's super soft and comfy, but you'll be cooler and drier if you wear a tech shirt in 80° temps. Wear this shirt after the race to start a conversation about the race and All Children's Hospital.

Wear Light Clothing + Sunscreen

Lightweight, sweat-wicking clothing will help your body regulate heat during the race. A hat and sunscreen help, too.

​Hydrate with Fresh Fruit

Watermelon, apples, oranges, and berries all help you stay hydrated, and can be more appealing than plain water.

Good luck to everyone running this weekend!

This will be the 4th Annual Race for All Children. It's my first time running it. I'll post a review next week.
