March books, and another moose

Guess what we saw during our sunset beach walk? Yep, another moose. This one was mellow and barely blinked as we walked past (keeping our distance, of course).

Book reviews and honesty

I wasn’t going to write this, though I’ve wanted to write this for a long time. Still, I put it off, I don’t know why. Perhaps because I didn’t want to speak up and piss people off, or perhaps because I was afraid of unleashing a storm of negative criticism against me. Yet, I feel it’s time to… Read More Book reviews and honesty

Of apples, poetry and Google Glass

Because today was National Poetry Day, I decided to pick the apples off our crab apple trees. Standing in the yard, my arms raised overhead as I plucked one fragrant apple after another, I thought of ancient women standing in fields, their arms raised to the heavens in grief and triumphant. I had Richard Siken’s Scheherazade… Read More Of apples, poetry and Google Glass

Hatcher Pass Marathon race report

Hatcher Pass Marathon race report

It’s been a while. Okay, it’s been like over half a year. Maybe longer. I’m afraid to check. I need to get my ass in gear, I really do. I have three race reports to post, one from way back in April (you remember April, right?). I’ll start in the middle with the Hatcher Pass […]

Sled dog races

Sled dog races

This past weekend we pulled on our boots and warm coats and ventured out to the Campbell Tract trails to watch the Fur Rondy World Championship Sled Dog Races. We walked back into the woods and stood at the side of the trail, no one else around. Everything so quiet; we could hear snow fall […]

Still running, after all this time

Still running, after all this time

Holy, holy, I haven’t posted here in forever. How did that happen? How did time get so far away from me? The good news is that I’m still running. I never stopped running; I simply stopped writing about running and I’m not sure why. Maybe I didn’t have anything to say. Maybe I had too […]
