Running Resolutions

Why wait until New Year’s to begin your running resolution?running resolution

As summer begins to wind down and kids return to school, new fall routines are being established.  This is the perfect opportunity to get back to a consistent running schedule and to begin your running resolution.

Sometimes it is hard to get the motivation to do this after a long break.  That’s why finding a local running group can be a fun and helpful way to achieve your goals for the coming year.   There are several running groups in the New Orleans area that meet in different locations and times throughout the city.

In addition to location and time variety, each group also has participants of varying running capabilities, so you will always have a partner to share the journey.  I have listed names and links to some of my favorites.  Find the one that works the best for you and get running!  Don’t wait until January to start your running resolution!
