This season, both of my kiddos participated in the Northwest Trail Runs Winter Trail Series. It was a great way to keep them running after the fall cross country season ended. There are boys and girls 12 & under divisions that they competed in. They had to run at least 4 of the 7 races to be ranked. The girls division was more competitive with some fast girls. My daughter took second in the series--no cigar. My son took first in his division and won an awesome nylon and fleece blanket!

February 3, 2018 - Interlaken Icicle Dash
This was a common sight - my daughter just behind my son. She was so frustrated. She wanted to beat him just once! He admitted to having a strategy. He said he ran with his sister for the first mile or two and then, if he was feeling good (which he always was) then he would pick up the pace and race to the finish.
