Run Away Autumn
Posted by: Squaw Valley Lodge
Fall is actually a wonderful time to get in some refreshing runs, and fight the holiday pounds we all appreciate so much. Those rich, comfort foods entice us as the temperature drops and we search for a tasty way to warm our bodies.
Well, here's a way to make room for more of those delectable pumpkin pies, sweet potato casseroles and hot chocolates topped with whipped cream. The local region offers many "trots" and races, for all types of runners wanting to fend off the pounds this season. Dig out your gloves and beenies for fall race season!
