Last night I had a great run with my friend Dennis on the hills out in Brookline. We met up at the Reservoir leading up to Boston College and did a loop so that we could run up Heartbreak Hill (Mile 21 of the marathon) and back into Brookline. Last night was the best I have felt so far on the hill. What makes it so difficult is specifically where it falls on marathon day, however there is something psychological that also makes it difficult for me. However, as I continue to train in Brookline, I am sure I will become more and more comfortable out there over the next few months.
Today is a day off for me. Tomorrow the predicted forecast is 11 degrees with snow at 6AM. I was hoping to fit in a run before my 9:45 flight to Colorado to visit my friend Kate for the weekend. 11 degrees is REALLY cold. Hopefully that won't stop me. It is very hard for me to run in Colorado because of the altitude. I will be in Durango which sits at 6525 feet in elevation. When I have run out there before, it takes a few days for me to adjust and even then a five mile run feels like 10. Hopefully I will be able to log a few miles - otherwise it will just be skiing for me :).
