"To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping." 

Chinese Proverb 
That's what we want you to do with us. Just keep on stepping. Whether it is in Pune, or Chittoor, Or Gurgaon or the Himalaya or Jaipur or.... Just keep on stepping.
11 years ago when I started running, quite by chance, I did not realize what an impact this simple act of going on stepping would have on me- getting me ever fitter, more positive, more confident and optimistic and more. And as I kept running and meeting other runners in different parts of the world, I started realizing what a wonder drug this simple activity was, and then I started reading about it, and the studies and the busting of myths like running is bad for the knees, and more. And then I switched gears from corporate life to an entrepreneurial one, from the comfort of a big and steady paycheck, to having to earn every pie, because I believed that if we keep on stepping, our lives can be vastly improved - sounds crazy but I have seen thousands of people get transformed, first hand at each of our 100 runs that we have done now across 8 states in the country.

At Running And Living Infotainment we have a goal of making running into a powerful brand engagement platform for marketers of products and services, especially for their premium customers, while we get 200 million people to start running - so come out and keep on stepping with us. We want to make that smile of yours a more permanent fixture and reduce your stress and strengthen your arterial flexibility, and lower your BP and much more.

Tons of runs - all accessible with one link and one click on http://runningandliving.com/
Let's get that smile on your face a little bigger, and a little more permanent
:-)
We would love to have you join us at one or all of the runs at:

Welcome to a place where the run never sets and you choose what to do.

Look forward to running into you.
