It was my mantra."

Informal Running | Boston Running Clubs | Running Blog

Informal Running | Boston Running Clubs | Running Blog: "Running informally is a lifestyle choice.  It embraces both solo and group running while incorporating  the average person's hectic schedule.  To run informally is not to train rigorously or to set unattainable goals.  Rather, to replace unproductive life coping mechanisms with a more positive one.  Run when you feel like it - when you need it.  Adopting this mantra makes running meditational, relaxing, and FUN!"
