"There is no secret. It just comes down to training hard and then putting on the handbrake."
- Triple Olympic speed skating champion Yvonne Van Gennep
Marathon Monday is 3 weeks away and it's time to start tapering! We hit about 20 miles on the course yesterday and tested out Heartbreak Hill around 16 miles... It was harder than hitting it at 9 a few weeks ago... and it will be hardest hitting it at 20 in a few weeks.
Oh, the anticipation...
This is what I hope to be like while running in Newton...
And this is what I hope to be like at the end...
Kind of weird there are pictures of random kids on the blog, but these were the closest pictures I could find of Heartbreak Hill: pictures of the Heartbreak Hill Road Race in the correct town. (Pictures from http://www.ci.newton.ma.us/Parks/RoadRace04/)
Another weird picture. From yesterday...
