Congratulations to all those who braved the rain to race the Snake River Canyon Half. It is always a great race to kick off the spring racing season. Many thanks to everyone who helped make the event happen, we could not do it without you.
The Snake River Half Marathon is directed by the Palouse Road Runners on the first Saturday in March every year. It is the first big race of the season for the Quad Cities area. SRCHM is a beautiful river canyon out-and-back course on the Wawawai River Road along the Snake River. The flat and paved course is USATF certified. The start and finish are at Wawawai Landing at a river elevation of about 720 feet. Weather in the canyon is quite warm for March with finish line temperatures close to 50F.
The PRR Annual meeting is at 6:30 p.m. on February 6 at the Best Western Plus University inn in Moscow, Idaho.

Both classes will be taught by Sheila Fitzgerald at Sanctuary Yoga, in the hot room, which will be turned down to 85F. feel free to bring your own mat, towel, and water. mats and towels are available to rent to the studio, as well as water to purchase, water from the fountain, and showers.
SATURDAY
1 p.m.: pre-race shakeout flow (60 minutes)
this yoga session is about moving with your breath, getting loose, and enjoying the hot room. all are encouraged to listen to your own body, take directions as suggestions and let your own body be your guide. the session will have more of an emphasis on breath work, light cardio and hip openers, and LESS about strenuous holds and balance postured (unless you want to!). This session is NOT meant to tire us out before the race!
MONDAY
7 p.m. post-race recovery flow (60 minutes)
Hamstrings tight? Quads on fire? We’ve got you covered. This session will have all the juicy hip and heart openers your body craves after a long hard trail race! There will be an emphasis on breath work and stretching and relaxing. Think Yin and Restorative. there will be minimal light cardio to acclimate us to the hot room (85F), and lots of passive and floor stretching.
We're a little over a month away from this year's Moscow Mountain Madness 5 mile and 1/2 Marathon and there are plenty of you that still need to sign up. Conditions on the mountain have been great this summer and lots of work on the trails has kept the brush down to a minimum. Sign-up today!
