Emmert Stresses Safety Awareness During 5K Run

Candidate for Dallas County Judge Wade Emmert is also a running enthusiast, which led to his recent decision to become a Safety Ambassador for the National Safety Council. Emmert hopes his "Run with a Reason" program will curb injuries experienced due to a lack of proper preparation foe exercise. "Over exhaustion is the third leading cause of emergency room visits," Emmert said. "Some simple prevention tips to exercise are to warm up first, and then slow down your pace if you get tired."

Emmert plans to promote safety while participating in the "Jogger 5K Summer Series" being held on June 24 at Bachman Lake in Dallas.  For more information, visit WadeEmmert.com.
