			<description>On her first place finish in the women's 60-64 age class at Lost Lake on Saturday, August 22, on her birthday!



Vera knows how to celebrate in style -- the Lost Lake run on a gorgeous sunny day with a phenomenal finish despite a nasty fall on the downhill stretch.  



VWRT had a stellar turnout for the race and congratulations to Mary Barratt also for her age class win -- not just the women's, but overall. 



It was a great day, good company and a good cause.  



Way to go, ladies!  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Our formal season has come to an end, but many of us will continue to meet on Thursday nights for a trail run. To keep it simple, we will meet each week at Crevasse-Moraine until conditions prevent us from running any longer. 
<br />

<br />
We will run at Alisa's trail near Hatcher Pass one Thursday after the Long Lake race, and will post it on the website and here.

See you there!]]></description>

			<description>With support from the Mat-Su Borough and the Mat-Su Trails Council, the directional sign posts will be installed this weekend in Crevasse-Moraine along the Long Lake Connector. Help is needed to set eleven posts.



If you can help, come to:

Crevasse-Moraine trailhead

10am 

Saturday, Aug 15. 



If we can get half a dozen people or so that would make the

work go pretty quickly. Even if you can only come out for a little

while and help set a couple posts, that will help.

Dear Athletes and All Other Supporters of the Trail,

 

The trail is looking pretty great!  If you have not been out there to see the changes, take the time.  There will be some fun races on it this fall!  Saturday, July 25, from 9AM to Noon we will need LOTS of rakers and root cutters!!

 

The new hill has been seeded and got its first mowing yesterday thanks to Ron Mangelsdorf.  ...</description>

<br />
It looks like all of our board members and many of our regular Thursday night runners will not be around this Thursday. Is there anyone out there who wants to &quot;lead&quot; the trail run? It doesn't take much. I can help you choose a trail if you like. Please let me know if you are interested! Thanks!

			<description>Want to go for a short hike and then enjoy a yoga session with a 360-degree view of the Matanuska and Knik river valleys? 



Desiree from Blue Mountains Wellness Studio in Palmer is leading a yoga session tomorrow morning at 10 am on top of the Butte! You can use either trail head. It’s a quick, steep hike. Bring water and yoga mat. There is no cost (unless you park at the trailhead), but you can offer Desiree a tip if you feel it was worth it! If it is lousy weather, the class may be cancelled.

			<description>Hi Everyone,



There are new signs being developed for the Matanuska Greenbelt Trails (MGT-- which includes Crevasse, Kepler-Bradley, UAF, and UA trails). Dot Helm is spearheading the effort and is behind the “BUY A POST” program. She has some preliminary, laminated signs already in place, but she is interested in receiving comments from users on how to make the signs as good as they can be. 



You can post comments directly on the MGT webpage: http://www.tinyurl.com/matanuskagreenbelt  ...</description>

I thought I had given up on trying to raise an interest in tennis, but it's just too fun of a sport to give up on  .  I will be available for private, semi-private, and small group tennis lessons this summer. All ages and abilities encouraged! I can do just tennis lessons or a combination of tennis/agility training. The agility training is lots of fun!  Still not sure if either of these sound enjoyable to you? Come to my FREE introductory clinic this coming Wednesday at 6 pm.  ...</description>

			<description>Directions from Palmer:

On Seldon Road turn left (towards Wasilla) at the Wasilla Fishhook stoplight. A little over a half mile down the road, you will see ahead of you on the left a blue and white sign for St. David's Episcopal church. Bridle Path Drive will be just BEFORE the church sign. Turn L onto Bridle Path, follow road until you come to a &quot;T&quot; and turn R on Saddle Horse Drove. You will come to another &quot;T&quot;, turn R on Stallion Circle.

			<description>Hi! 



I'm relatively new to the Valley, and interested in learning more about the VWRT. I'm just a little nervous about joining the group, as I've just taken up running and find that some days even a mile is a struggle!    Is this group open to new members who are excited about learning, but sometimes have to stop &amp; catch their breath? If so, I'd definitely love to come out and meet you all and get some tips and pointers on how to be a better runner....



Happy Spring!

Directions from Palmer: 

Take Arctic Blvd. east (it turns into the Old Glenn), passing over the Matanuska River bridge. Approx. two miles after the bridge, turn Left on Maud  ...</description>

I am interested in upping my mileage but am short on long run loops and out and back routes.  Can any of you superstars out there show me the way?  I know there are some interesting routes out there between Palmer Fishhook and Palmer Wasilla Highway but I'm not sure where all the connections are.

Check out this worthy foundation - it's awesome!  (and I'm not just saying that because it was started by my cousin.  However, because I know her, and have watched this foundation blossom from a dream to a reality, I just feel so excited to see if there's potential to get AK gals involved...)

I recently stumbled across the VWRT website through a search while looking for local runs.  I’m very interested in possibly becoming a member and was hoping to gain a bit more information about it through this forum.



A little history about me: I’ve lived in Alaska for the past 12 years.  I’ve lived here in the Valley since the summer of 2007.  I have been married to my husband for 5 years and we have a beautiful baby boy that will turn 1 this month!  I used to run often before  ...</description>
