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 Wolverine Peak but had to turn around at the false summit due to rain and low cloud coverage (no way to see the bears, ha, ha). Four miles up to about 3,000 elevation. Rained the whole way but I stayed warm in my Nike thermal running jacket, really great pullover, has sleeves that convert to mittens for high elevation. Was soaking wet but still warm, even in high winds and 50 degree temps. Nice run.

Ran to the top of Flattop Mountain and back, gorgeous evening, pace felt great, saw a moose with a HUGE rack pretty close to the trail on the way down and slipped past as quietly as possible. Almost rutting season, and then the males get totally crazy and will charge anything they see.

Eight miles on the Turnagain Arm Trail, from Potter to the second mile marker past McHugh. Two huge hills on the way and a couple of good grunts on the return. Rest of the run rolling hills plus rough footing--one of my favorite trails.

Potter to McHugh and back, rough trail, lots of exposed tree roots and lots of rolling hills plus a couple of killers--love it.
