What You Need for Fall Trail Running
Some runners are ecstatic when the summer heat waves goodbye and the crisp autumn air moves in. It's like free air-conditioning, because you bundle yourself up in lightweight layers for your run, and when you start to warm up, you just peel them off and the fall breeze cools you down.
Trail running is one of my favorite things to do in the fall.
P.L.O.W. – Celebrating the Coming of Fall
Although I'm sad that summer weather is waving us goodbye, autumn is one of my favorite times of the year.

Dealing With the End of Daylight Saving
Although sleep experts believe "falling back" and gaining an hour in Autumn is easier than losing an hour in Spring, it will still take your body a few days to acclimate to the time change. Here are a few tips on how to keep the change from adversely affecting your sleep habits:
