Ski Circuit Training: Sunday Fun w/ the Boys

Posted on October 28, 2013

My 7 year old told me his goal was to be the fastest runner in his class & my 9 year old said he wants to get ready for sprints this winter and be fast like Peter Northug of Norway.  My goal: adjust to this new transition, a lofty one, but I am excited for the winter, trying my hand at the x country races in New England & helping grow the skimo scene here in the States.
