Born to run

We all know how to run, but not necessarily in the healthy way. This is the month of resolutions, so why not start your year off with a new fitness regimen? The Running Room offers programs to get your started, including guidelines for those new to running, nutrition advice and support. Attend in person or train on your own. Go to runningroom.com to get started. Beer tastes better after a good run.
