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.

Ran up and down Flattop (elevation gain about 2,000 feet) plus extra mile over Powerline Pass Trail. Watched the sunset over the inlet from the top, and it was only about 9:30 p.m. Where has the summer gone? We're losing about five minutes of light a day, sigh, sigh. Still, a nice run. There's nothing like being on a mountain at twilight.

You commented on my page that running is your friend. I do totally know what you mean!

Your mountain run at twilight sounds nice.
