Running by yourself can be hard. Running by yourself when you’re just starting out is even harder.
When I first graduated from college I needed friends to run with and accountability and that’s where No Boundaries came in. I knew that two times a week, I had a group waiting for me at Fleet Feet. FF Huntsville has tons of training programs to help YOU strengthen your running and make lifelong friends along the way.
If you need a reason to start, a group to push you, and a good excuse to exercise – you’ve stumbled across the right blog.
