In this companion piece to our email newsletter (not a subscriber yet? Subscribe here), I’ll share highlights from Earth Month, and share a glimpse on what we have coming up in May. Also, since our newsletter has been getting flagged as spam by some of our subscribers, we’ve limited the clickable links in the newsletter and instead you’ll find them in this article. The Flying Pig is this weekend, so time is running out to buy Piggest Raffle Ever raffle tickets to support Waste-Free Dayton.

I’ve been a runner for over 21 years. One of the most valuable tips I learned early on was the most important gear for the sport of running is your shoes. Depending on your running gait, your build, if you over-pronate or under-pronate, whether running on trails or road, or needing shoes for speed or trainers for longer runs, you should have the right pair of shoes to ensure you’re protecting your feet and preventing injury.
