Single parent, live in Alaska, LOVE trail running, and the trails here are rough, baby. My dog is my best running companion, since she scares away the bears and moose.

Ran up to the top of Flattop Mountain and back down again, about 2,000 foot elevation gain, was about 10:30 p.m. and moon was just starting to come up over the surrounding peaks. It was SO beautiful. I need to get a camera and start posting some of these scenes. Uphill felt good, downhill was a bit slick in places and was starting to get dark (light is slowly leaving here in Alaska, it's light until about 11:30 or so and I think we're losing about three minutes a day--yikes!).
