Accomplishments:
I have enjoyed running and staying in shape. I ran in 70 races from 2000 to 2008, from 2 miles to 50K ultramarathon. However, overuse injuries have forced me to moderate the running. Fortunately, I've also been able to add bicycling and uphill walking to the mix. It's been a good change both mentally and physically. I probably should have done this a long time ago.

I'm a newcomer to mountain hiking, but I have enjoyed what I've done thus far.
I summited Pikes Peak in Aug 2005 via the Barr Trail in the Pikes Peak Ascent.
I summited Mt Yale in July 09 after a previous unsuccessful attempt in Aug 08.
Goals:
Living in IL, I only get to do this once a year. My sights are on Uncompahgre for 2010. But I could end up doing something totally different. We'll see. I have lots of time to figure it out and that's the problem. It's way too long of a wait between hikes. I guess I should make a move to CO one of my goals too, right?
