Injuries aside, running is flat out awesome! It builds your muscles, strengthens your heart, helps you breathe better, chills you out, and offers an opportunity to hang with some friends. It’s the ultimate “no-brainer” workout, because you can do it anytime, anywhere! You just put one foot in front of the other and away you go! Not to mention all the fun runs that pop up around town like all the 5ks, turkey trots, beer runs, and run clubs. For those days when I prefer the simplicity of movement over structured gym workouts, I often opt for a refreshing run, and you should too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
