"Heartbreaker you got the best of me...

...but I just keep on coming back incessantly"

I've recently noticed I like to start my blogs off with a little tune. Today's song is dedicated to that oh-so-wonderful slope all of us Thursday runners know and love, Heartbreak Hill. Why do we continue to punish ourselves week in and week out, trolling up the seemingly endless incline in the darkness? Is it because we are masochists? Possibly. Is it because we are crazy? Quite likely. Is it because there is no greater feeling on a cold Thursday night than defeating the hills, running down Beacon Street into the warmth of Crossroads and then climbing the stairs (almost always tripping on the first one on the way up) to hear the chatter of runners unwinding after a great run? Definitely (the pizza and beer at the end helps too :))
