I run all year round, and the winter is an especially hard time to find motivation. In Oregon, there aren’t a whole lot of races in the area to make it easier when it gets dark and cold, so I’m always incredibly grateful for the PRC Winter 5k Series, which has become a yearly tradition for me. If you’ve never heard of this race series brought to you by Run With Paula Events, rejoice and…

After the trifecta of icy runs that made up the 2016-2017 PRC Winter Race Series, it was a real treat to have dry pavement on which to race last Saturday, December 16. The PRC Winter Race Series (tagline, “Never Let Winter Win”) is made up of three 5k runs (walkers invited too!), one each month from December to February. The course remain the same each time, with professional chip-timing and an accurate, well-marked and supported…

The January Winter 5K went off without a hitch. Reported start temperatures were between 18-20 degrees. With the wind chill, we had it at 8 degrees! The second 5K of the PRC Winter Race Series caused Déjà vu (that is, if you participated in the first race in December) with snow and ice on the ground and freezing temps. While it was a bit of a bummer to have the icy white stuff still around, the…
