Winter Dashes for the Pacific Northwest
It’s cold, windy, and I’ve been seeing some snow in the mountains. Winter is upon us. I tend to act like a bear and hibernate, putting my runs off for the sunnier spring. But here at Eat.Blog.Run, we’ve decided to lace up our shoes, along with our jackets and gloves, and hit the pavement all winter long.
Along with getting out to run, it’s always better to have a goal for running in mind. Enter the race. Christine in Boston has shared what’s coming up in her neck of the woods, and I’m going to share what’s happening up here in the PNW!
