Nine miles over a rough mountain trail, lots of killer hills (one a mile long), upraised roots, fallen trees, mud, sharp rocks. Steady pace but struggled the last two miles. Saw a small black bear scamper off the trail on the way back--scary but kind of neat. Great run, no one else around; I was all alone after the mile marker.

Rest day! Hiked with the dog and then pigged out on pretzels and hot sauce.

Three light, light, light miles, and I STILL felt heavy and plodding.

Eight miles, medium-fast pace, felt great the whole way. Anchorage has almost 200 miles of paved bike trails, most away from the road, and it's a perfect place to run in town without really seeing much of town. Did see a scrawny teenage moose.

Whooeee! The end of the work week and I celebrated with four easy miles. Tomorrow is a rest day, probably will hike out at Hatcher Pass, and Sunday is mountain racin' time.
