Annual mother daughter hike

Since 2003, my daughter and I have hiked Pikes Peak together each summer - except for two times. One time I was recovering from shingles so we did a shorter hike, and last year I thought I was too old and skipped it. You need to know that this is a 13 mile hike with an elevation gain of 7,000 feet. Our best time was 7 hours and 30 minutes.
But I was waxing nostalgic for the special time we had on our annual hikes, so tried it again today. And hurray, we made it in 8 hours with smiles still on our faces.
So never say never :-)
