The festive season is upon us, and with it comes a whirlwind of indulgence – rich Christmas dinners, endless mince pies, and perhaps a few too many glasses of mulled wine. While it’s a time for celebration, connection, and relaxation, it’s no secret that come January, many of us feel sluggish, heavier, and eager to shake off the excesses of the season.
That’s why the New Year is the perfect time to embrace the motto “New Year, New Me.” If you’re looking for a fun, supportive, and effective way to kickstart 2025, look no further than Penkridge Runners (PR). Here’s why joining this local running club could be the best decision you make this year.
