Fall may be the perfect running weather, but that doesn’t mean running sounds any more appealing than usual. Running does have the potential to be fun (hard to believe, I know). If you’re anything like me, one of the major issues you have with running is that it’s boring. It’s not that you don’t want the exercise, it’s just hard to repeat the same monotonous movements over and over for a lengthy period of time. But this doesn’t have to be the case! Below is a list of 5 “fun runs” in the Boston area coming up this fall. So grab a few of your friends, sign up for a run, and have a fun and healthy experience! Plus, who doesn’t love the rewarding feeling at the end of workout?! Now imagine that amplified x10! If this doesn’t get you motivated then I offer you another incentive—do it for the t-shirt.
