Running wild

Life in Alaska has been good!

Running, running, running, working, running, coffee, dinner, running, working, running ...

Really doesn't get much better than that. Somehow I've managed to hit up nearly all of my favorite trails in the little less than a month that I've been here:

-Resurrection Pass
-Summit Pass
-Crow Pass
-Lost Lake
-South Fork to Symphony Lake
-Ridge between South Fork and Ship Creek
-Mile High to the base of Magnificent
-Ptarmigan to Blacktail
-Ram Valley to Ptarmigan
-Dew Mound to the Perch

And the list goes on ...

The best part is that I've done all of these adventures with friends. What a great way to reconnect and catch up!

Here's a sampling of some of my favorite photos from the last few weeks.

Lost Lake and laughter

Last weekend, I headed out with a group of fabulous women to run the absolutely stunning 17-mile Lost Lake trail. It was my virgin crossing, and I finally understood why all the rave. When you get up to the pass, it opens up into this expansive rolling alpine tundra, dotted by lakes and flanked by glaciers. The overcast sky showed us some mercy, and stopped raining long enough for us to make the trip. We ended our excursion with burritos, and then coffee in Seward. The best part of the day? Laughing! With such a fun group of ladies, there were times when I was literally crying because I was laughing so hard.
