Heartbreak Hill

Last week was our first run through Heartbreak. This hill occurs around mile 20 in the race, and I believe it is the placement of this hill that is so problematic for runners. On a 10 mile run it sure felt possible, but stuck at the end of a marathon, who can tell?? This feels a bit like the student who realizes he has to rely on his past lessons to get through a difficult recital- it requires some FAITH. This Saturday is 11 miles and look forward to the warm weather forecasts!
