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 trails from Indian Valley to Flattop through the Chugach Mountains trail. The first five miles up hill from sea level to 3,500 feet elevation and then we were in the valley, no one else around, utterly silent and beautiful with the beginning of fall colors. Last 7 miles mostly downhill, with one killer hill at the very end. Trail rough with jutted rock and very thick alders in places but worth every minute. Saw mountain goats, moose and a huge flock of ptarmigan.

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.
