Went and ran the Hospital Hill course with a couple of the guys from the run group and felt the pain of the hills that is to come on June 7th. I don't think this will be a PR type of course so the question is how will I attack the very difficult Halh Marathon course. I'm thinking I'll take off a bit on the easy side then see how I feel at the half way point and pick it up from there. If I break 1:30 I would be happy with this course. There are a couple short steep hills and some vary long ones. The longest hill is 1.8 miles long that starts at about the 9.5 mile mark. At mile 11.5 there is a really steep short hill then downhill the rest of the way that seems easy but it is dangerously downhill that you could bite it if not carefull! We'll see how it goes June 7th!
