First run up Pikes Peak

I did my first run of the year all the way up Barr Trail Sunday. All things considered, it went pretty well. There were only three or four stretches of soft snow. The weather was calm and sunny, and I got up to the summit in 3:04, only walking for a short time on the Golden Stairs.
I saw a number of runners up there, and the usual crowd of tourists amazed that people run at all, let alone up a mountain. Hitch-hiked down. A good time, but I need a little variety, I think next week it will be a different fourteener.
