Fourteen-er, Midwest style

Since the gang is in Colorado, I thought I would summit my own fourteen-er today. It was primarily a horizontal challenge though, the actual elevation rise was conservatively between 2 and 2.5 feet.

Interestingly enough, there was another person at the Lab this morning. Over the last couple months, I have seen a few too many four wheeled things, only a handful of two wheeled contraptions, but this was the first runner I have seen. We were headed in opposite directions, so the encounter was brief. He was dressed as if a snow storm was in progress, I had by that point ditched the shirt. It was like Cromagnon meets Neanderthal or Columbus meets exploitable natives. We were the same, but different.
