Beat the cold by getting active this winter! 🏃‍♀️❄️

Don't let the cold keep you indoors—get outside and keep moving! Here are some tips from @nihgov to stay safe while exercising outdoors:

1️⃣ Warm up & cool down: Stretch or walk in place to prep your muscles before and after a workout.

2️⃣ Dress smart: Layer up with loose clothing to trap warm air, and don’t forget your waterproof jacket, hat, scarf, and gloves.

3️⃣ Watch out for ice: Check sidewalks and wear nonskid shoes to avoid slipping.

4️⃣ Check the forecast: If it's too harsh outside, try an indoor workout instead.

5️⃣ Stay safe: Know the signs of hypothermia, keep others informed of your plans, and carry a charged phone.

Did you know that November is Diabetes Awareness Month?

For those in our community who run with diabetes, every mile is a reminder that planning is key. Here are some tips from @mayoclinic for how to manage diabetes while meeting running goals:

✔️ Check your blood sugar before you run
✔️ Have a carb snack handy in case of low blood sugar
✔️ Stay hydrated and listen to your body
✔️ Adjust your insulin as needed (with guidance from your doctor)

Let’s keep raising awareness and supporting each other along the road to wellness! 🏃‍♀️💉

RACE DAY is in less than 24 hours! We can’t wait to see you at the 10th Anniversary Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk tomorrow morning 🎉

Here's some tips to help you feel ready for race day:

😴 Make sure you get a good night’s sleep

🚆 Plan extra time to travel to The Dimock Center on the morning of the race. Parking will be VERY limited in the area, so please plan to take public transportation, bike, or get a ride.

🍌Eat a well-balanced breakfast to ensure you are fueled up for the Run/Walk! It can help to eat something high in carbohydrates, such as a bagel, banana, energy bar, or oatmeal.

🎽 Check-in will open promptly at 7:30 AM for anyone who did not pick up their bib early.
If you've already picked up your bib, you can arrive by 8:30 AM. The walk/run will begin promptly at 9:00 AM!

🎶 Please make sure you are on time so you can join the amazing opening ceremony with the fabulous @edwardslatoyia and warm up with the iconic Brandy Cruthird @bbb360_ at 8:10 AM and music from @rockstonetrizz from @sparkfmonline!

🎈 Don’t forget to check out the wide range of exhibitors at our Health & Fitness Pavilion located just behind the finish line at 55 Dimock Street! The pavilion will be open from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM.

🌦️ The 10th Annual Road to Wellness is on, rain or shine, on Saturday, September 7th, barring extreme weather such as an intense thunderstorm. Please dress accordingly and stay tuned to the Road to Wellness website and social media channels for the latest updates.
