My running buddies, Christy Selvig (L), Lisa Darden (R), and I (C) decided to hike Pikes Peak. We formed the Crazy Ladies Running Club because we like to meet at 5 a.m. at Monument Valley Park to go running, and Pikes Peak was an "extracurricular activity" for us. As a former 237-lb. couch potato, this was an ENORMOUS accomplishment for me! Here we are, leaving Barr Trail Trailhead in Manitou Springs at 4:40 a.m., outfitted in headlamps, of course.
