All Hills

When we returned to the New York Marathon route on the second day, I started at the 17-mile point and ran to the 26th mile, again running only the hills.
 
Central Park was the worst. As soon as I entered the park, there were only hills going on, going on. During the marathon, once you come to Central Park you think you can heave a sigh of relief because you are almost finished. But O God, there it is all hills!
