Presenting the latest research on health issues and fitness trends in the region and the nation.

 

OK, so if your Sunday afternoon is going to be devoted to burrowing into the couch to watch the Super Bowl, why not do something healthy beforehand?

Here's just a sampling of what you can do this weekend:

* Total Body Fitness, the leading XTERRA and triathlon folks in the area, will be holding a mountain bike skills camp Saturday at 9 a.m. at Granite Beach on Folsom Lake. Cost: $60. It runs pretty much all day. It's worth it just to learn braking technique alone.  

* How's this for a deal? Fleet Feet Davis (615 2nd Street, Davis) is holding an 8 a.m. training run Saturday, followed by free waffles and, for the first 60 participants, a free pair of DryMax socks.  

* Those wacky runners at Sacramento Hash House Harriers -- the "the drinking club with a running problem" -- will chase the "hare" for about 5 miles and then down some pints on Saturday. It starts at 1 p.m. at Carlisle Woods Park.

* If you're looking for a half marathon (maybe as a final training run before next week's Davis Stampede), try the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half Marathon Sunday at 8 a.m.
