Speaker Series: Running That Doesn’t Suck, a Presentation by Author Lisa Jhung

CrossFit tells us to work our weaknesses, but does that really include running?

Join us on Wednesday, November 6th at 7pm for a book talk and an evening of fun, chatter, and insight with Roots athlete and author Lisa Jhung.

Lisa recently published her second book titled, Running That Doesn’t Suck: How to Love Running (Even If You Think You Hate It).

This event is open to non-members – please bring friends or anyone who needs to learn to love running!
