Summer Essentials to Keep You Moving
By Brittany Katz
Hot weather is coming; Longer days, blazing sun, and lots of sweat. As runners, walkers, and people who want to be generally active, we have to adapt to the hot southern summer. Here are some of our favorite summer essentials to keep you moving, even on the hottest of days!
Body Glide: No matter where chafing happens, you can use Body Glide. Toes, heals, arms, thighs, chest; you name it, Body Glide can help! Body Glide products help prevent rubbing that causes irritation, rash, chafing, blisters and raw skin. They are non-oily, invisible and blend into your skin. They stand up to sweat, humidity and water, and your skin breathes even as perspiration escapes. We have tiny tubes, great for that tiny pocket in your shorts, or a whole stick that will last you all summer and beyond.
Run’s Done car seat cover: Save your vehicle’s seats from post-workout sweat with the Run’s Done seat cover. Blue, red, or grey, these covers are easy to use, the non-slip drops on the back stick to your seat, and they’re washable. Nothing is worse than getting back in your car dripping with sweat. Cover your seat and ride without worries.
Headsweats running hat: Our white, blue, and green classic running hat are a staple for any summer warrior! These performance hats are so lightweight you’ll forget you have it on. The visor protects your face and eyes from the sun. They’re quick drying with an adjustable strap in the back for a universal fit. Click HERE to purchase.
Goodr sunglasses: These sunglasses are THE best. At $25 and $35 depending on the size, these polarized glasses are made for being active in the sun. They don’t bounce and won’t move around even when you’re running! At this price, you can afford to get 2 or 3 pairs for your car, your runs, and your night out with friends.

Asher's Favorite Things
By Asher Johnson
Terra is at first look a runner’s store, alike to many other running stores all across the world. In Cleveland and the surrounding, however, it is the only one of its kind. Underneath the façade of specialty running and athletic wear, and at its heart, Terra Running Company is much more than a store. It is a player in the substance of society and a building block in Cleveland’s culture. Terra has a love for the people and community it serves. This is my favorite thing about Terra. This underlying purpose, service to the community it loves, guides Terra Running Company’s interactions with customers and lays a solid foundation for any of the endeavors and activities we intend to make.
First and foremost, this is what I love about Terra. Likewise, it offers great products too. Working here gives me the bonus of learning a lot about the qualities of our products. My favorite shoe is the Brooks Levitate 4. I typically run in the Altra Escalante or Altra Vanquish; however, the Brooks Levitate provides a fun boost for an enjoyable speedy 5k. I also really like the Fjallraven Kanken backpacks. They are trendy, but mine has turned out to be pretty durable. I often value style over comfort, but I get both with my Goodr glasses. Without Terra Running Company, I may have never even discovered the brand. Goodrs fit snugly and grip well. I’ve never had one break or become scratched. I really like the circular ones… too bad these sell the fastest.
These three items are some of my favorites, but like I said, the products would be bland without the vision and community of Terra Running Company.
