To post faster times in this summer's mountain races plus finish a half marathon at at the end of the summer. Would like to improve my Mt. Marathon time for next year plus run the Moab 33K in February.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would love to do an ultra-distance race, 50 miles or even 110--oh, oh, oh!

Personal:

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.

Medium 8.5 minute miles on the track. (Note: I go to bed late in the summer 'cause this is Alaska and it's light most of the night and I love, love, love to take off hiking around 9 p.m. and get back around midnight. Standing up on top of a mountain in that lavendar twilight is like nothing else.)

Yeah, it's great running in Alaska in the summer. Wait until winter, though, and I'll be whining about the cold, the dark, and the icy, impossible streets.
