HEY, BE WELLERS! The Broad Street Run is less than one week away! To ensure Philly's 30,000 racers are prepped and ready to go, we talked to local running pros for a list of must-have gear that'll ensure those 10 miles are fun and pain-free. I'm also fessing up to how terribly my BSR training went this past week, as well as sharing my favorite weight-friendly wraps (fajita night, saved!), and filling you in on why acai berry weight-loss ads are totally bogus. Plus: Recipes for cancer-fighting kale chips, what it's like to go meatless with vegan star chef Christina Pirello and *the Easter treat you should* eat. The holiday may be over, but leftovers abound. Enjoy! — Jenna Bergen, Health and Fitness Editor**
