la chanson de ma vie: Alaska With Friends
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2015/08/alaska-with-friends.html
La chanson de ma vie. Friday, August 07, 2015. Rabbit Lake with Mike and Cinthia. Our schedules finally lined up so my hosts, Cinthia. And Mike, took me on a gorgeous, sunny, and easy jaunt to a picturesque alpine lake. After my trip last year, I thought I had finally made peace with leaving Alaska, but this perfect weather had me reconsidering everything. Watching these two reminded me of my relationship with Matt. Her Tern with Angel. When I first booked my tickets to Alaska, Angel. I camped out (with ...

http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
La chanson de ma vie. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. During a group run on Christmas Eve, I pulled off the path to snap yet another photo. "Oh here comes the camera! Big Bear Lake, Trinity Alps. Lee's Cabin, White Mountains, Alaska. Crater Lake, Oregon. Bear Basin Butte, Siskiyou Mountains. A yurt trip here, a cabin trip there, we maximized every second of Matt's weekend. We substituted several road miles in our training plan for trail ones and spent the month weaving through the Redwoods and climbing...

la chanson de ma vie: April 2015
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
La chanson de ma vie. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. The twenty-six miles of the Boston Marathon course aren't really that remarkable. Weaving its way from the suburbs to the city, I've run several marathons with the same setup. The mystique and attraction of the Boston Marathon isn't the course at all. On a quiet run in Revere before heading into the city on Friday. I spotted hundreds of pots like these throughout the city. As Matt and I boarded a bus to the airport to get our rental car, surrounded by a sea ...

la chanson de ma vie: October 2014
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
La chanson de ma vie. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Four Lakes and Siligo Peak. Today our adventure is shared with Mark, an inland runner that we happen to know through mutual friends. It's our first official meeting. Through some Facebook stalking, he seems sassy and fun and just happens to have weekdays off too so I invited him along. Who can say no to a Tuesday morning mountain party? The skies are dark up here, but nothing more than tiny drops of rain ever fall. For once, Mother Nature seems to be ...

La chanson de ma vie. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Life Outside of Running. 1 Home DIY Projects:. Before, plus some test spots using colors we found in the garage. The most stressful part of this was choosing colors, but I like the result. 2 Cooking and baking:. Squash and Apple Roast. Creamy Butternut Squash soup with homemade croutons. 3 Crochet and Knitting:. My most recent creation. I loved this pattern and yarn so much that I'm working on an identical hat right now. One thing Matt and I have always wa...

la chanson de ma vie: Acadia National Park
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2015/05/acadia-national-park.html
La chanson de ma vie. Friday, May 01, 2015. One of the nice things about national parks is their accessibility. More often than not, it's easy to see some of the same things without even leaving the car. While asking the ranger at the visitor center for a good hike, I noticed her trying to talk me into more than just a few short hikes. Normally, rangers are trying to talk us out of. Our planned hikes. "This one is only a few miles, are you sure you don't want more suggestions? Climbing through the outcro...

la chanson de ma vie: Avenue of the Giants 10K Race Report
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2015/05/avenue-of-giants-10k-race-report.html
La chanson de ma vie. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Avenue of the Giants 10K Race Report. Gathered in front of the green spray painted crack that marks the starting line, I glance across the river to the giant stand of trees ahead of me. At least the scenery will be nice. I think to myself. After I raced a miserable 10K. Huh That was a surprise. Since we are still chatting comfortably, I let my legs do the driving. Maybe I'm more recovered than I thought. Soon we are dipping into the back of the half mar...The f...

la chanson de ma vie: Grasshopper Peak 30K course
http://ariavie.blogspot.com/2015/05/grasshopper-peak-30k-course.html
La chanson de ma vie. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Grasshopper Peak 30K course. With my trail race less than one month away, the main focus of my running this week was to reacquaint myself with the course, checking for washouts in the road and downed trees. We found a little bit of both. Hopefully my park ranger sends his trail elves out before race day or we'll have to reroute. Soon we say goodbye to Mary as she splits off to follow the 10.5 mile course. I ask her if she will be racing this year....We scout ...
