:: TRAINING TIP ::
Summer is upon us and for most of the country record temperatures have reached an all time high which is why keeping hydrated this season will not only keep you in the game, but help keep you from any unnecessary trips to the emergency room. The Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness has some wonderful resources to help keep you thirst-free and healthy and it's not all about drinking water.
