The run was worth it when I got to the top to see the view.
I have been wanting to get some high elevation runs in. There are some really sweet races out west that have these things called "mountains" we midwesterners have never seen. Good news was I was able to run pretty well up there. Better than I had expected. Now, I just need to see what 10,000 ft feels like...

From the trail on the way up. Bear Peak is the highest point on the right side of the picture.
The view from just below the summit. This is facing Boulder.
Self portrait from the top...85,000 ft...I made it!
