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.

Biked 26 miles at a fast clip along the inlet from Indian to Girdwood and back--beautiful. Saw bear scat but no bruins.

5.5 trail run, continuous hills but decent footing (ran on cross-country trail system). Medium pace but booked it up the hills. Saw a moose with two babies at the half point.

I cross train to save my knees. Swam 90 laps at a medium pace, felt great. Had a spirulina smoothie afterward--yummy.

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.)
