Great Friday to you!

Tower Climb

You know how when you walk through downtown Boston or through Manhattan and you’re surrounded by all of those tall buildings, you find yourself walking a bit taller and you wonder to yourself, “man wouldn’t it be awesome if I could run their stairwells to get cardio minutes in?”  Well guess what?  You can.

Join Peter Kelly and run the Prudential Center, Sunday, January 27, 2013.

These count as cardio minutes and so will your dynamic warm up and you’re training to get ready.  You won’t get a lot of minutes, but you’ll get super high quality minutes.
