April 16, 2012: THE BOSTON MARATHON AT HEARTBREAK HILL

A block from Heartbreak Hill, we are alerted that there is no stopping Monday!

And indeed there was no stopping, especially for the Kenyans who came running up Heartbreak Hill in Monday's 86 degree weather, full sun (notice that they are not running in the shade provided by trees  along the South side of Commonwealth Avenue!)

Heartbreak Hill (the chalk marks the spot).

Running up Heartbreak Hill . . .

  1. Delighted to read your blog today. Since I moved away from the Boston area in late 1995, I haven't seen the Boston Marathon in person since then. I always say I'm going to return one year to watch the marathon, but I have not yet done so. Maybe next year...
