I'll be in the South Lake Tahoe area for a week later this month. Any suggestions on what to do / what to avoid as far as running and tourist attractions? Thanks.

I'd bring a fire extinguisher.
Go for a run around Lake Tahoe.
I wouldn't stick to the concrete trails that circle the lake. I lived in South Lake Tahoe for a summer, and got a stress fracture after a few weeks there. There are many trails right off the main concrete....which go through the deep woods. Just beware if its really early.....those mountain lions are scary!
if you are there the weekend of the 21st/22nd the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 and TRT 50m/50k will be going on ...trails will be busy
as an easterner who will soon be there what's some serious advice regarding wildlife avoidance while I'm running there? i've surprised enough animals over the years to know i'd rather not do it again. I don't mind seeing a few things but I'd rather avoid anything dangerous if possible.

you shouldn't be too worried about wild life, i lived in the tahoe area last summer and didn't see any bears or mt lions but when i have seen bears in the past they are way more scared of people than we are of them in general. there are rattle snakes but they are pretty rare aswell. most trails are pretty populated in the summer unless you are getting way out there so if a problem does present itself you should be ok. it shouldn't be hard to avoid pavement unless you are terrified of hills, there are trails everywhere. have fun tahoe is awesome.
