Spring Break: Alaska and Run Club

I have been enjoying a little break from my athletic training and enjoying some fun in the civic arena.

Check out this video recap of our trip to teach skiing in Noorvik, Alaska

This year Caitlin stayed in Minneapolis while I taught skiing in Alaska so that we could have the consistency at Run Club practice.  Rain and cold had kept Run Club practice inside, so the kids have been super excited about the warm and dry weather this week so that we can run outside.

Lining up for Run Club

A few years ago we skied in the Twin Cities metro on April 15th, this year Spring arrived early

We again have some fantastic sponsors to help motivate us to reach our daily, weekly and season goals at Run Club.  LL Bean has provided a shopping spree for the top 3 boys and top 3 girls mileage runner.  Caitlin and I are excited for the field trip to LL Bean at their Mall of America store at the end of the school year.  FruitShare has provided delicious healthy snacks of organic oranges, apples, clementines and tangelos.  Kids earn their choice of fruit for completing the daily Run Club mileage goal.   LL Bean has also provided water bottles which the kids earn after accumulating 10 miles at practice.  Thanks LL Bean and Fruitshare for the support.

Lebron is proud to be the first kid to earn his LL Bean water bottle for accumulating 10 miles of running this Spring.
