Let’s Take the Scenic Route

Treadmills are convenient, but watching sitcoms with the subtitles on in a crowded gym loses its charm very quickly. Ditch the indoors this weekend and get some fresh air at Greenleaf State Park's Greenleaf Trail Run. Options include four-, eight-, and twelve-mile runs for racers to choose from. Take in some nature with your workout this time around. January 30. Admission, $50-70. (918) 487-5196 or runsignup.com
