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 ...

Chapters in Running: April 2014
http://chaptersinrunning.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 3 April 2014. Three strikes and out. A friend in the ultra running community told me this week "your ability to tackle the lows as well as the highs is the measure of your worth as a human being". This is good to remember when you are thrown into dealing with injury rather than achieving all of the running ambitions you've planned for the year. The good news of late is that the fibula stress fracture has healed up nicely. It behaved during a 15 m. Bumped into this colourful crew on Saturday.

la chanson de ma vie: February 2015

La chanson de ma vie. Friday, February 27, 2015. Rogue River Half Marathon Race Report. Sunshine floods the room as Matt pulls back the shades. I poke my head out from under the covers, snarl, and then retreat back into the cozy cocoon of puffiness. I'm not in the mood for racing and find myself asking, "Whose idea was this anyways? Of course, it was mine. Oops, hehe. Mile 3, taken last April. Mile 5: 7:46 (double-fistin' water stop). I call out. I'd later learn that this guy was one of my brother's ...

Thoughts on Eating Dirt, Playing with Nature, and Pounding Pavement (Once in Awhile). Monday, February 28, 2011. Welcome Back, Cupcake. I believe in God. Lately, I've wondered if he cared. I saw an olive branch yesterday. I also got my heart broken. My mother had this tradition when we were growing up. Every Christmas, we received one gift that wasn't on our Christmas list. She said she did it for us because her dad always did it for her. It was supposed to be the. Yesterday I had to teach the lillies of...

la chanson de ma vie: December 2014
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. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A Weekend in the Mountains, Part 2: Granite Peak. I wonder out loud. Before I know it, we're climbing the steep fire road to the Granite Peak trailhead. Granite Peak is on the left. We begin the arduous climb up the mountain. In the five miles to the top, the trail gains an impressive 4,500 ft. without a single reprieve. I find myself leading the way up the trail with a giant grin on my face. The "Too much coffee" selfie. Snack time, complete with photobomb.

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 ...
