Time to Lace Up for Great Falls Premiere Road Race

One thing about the nice weather we have seen recently is the ability to be outside this time of year.  Being able to not fight below zero temperatures and snow is allowing for all sorts of activities we normally wouldn't be enjoying right now in Montana.

One thing I have noticed more of is runners.  Not that I don't see them in the winter months, but not as many as I normally would.  And it makes sense.  Between the weather and the big road race rapidly approaching, now is the time to get in shape for the Ice Breaker.
