The Great White Hill

How am I training for NYC and Boston without the Newton Hills? Good question, glad you asked. Although I no longer have the privilege of running up Heartbreak every day (which truly is a privilege), I do have a new challenge: the Great White Hill.

No, the GWH is not as famous as Heartbreak. (Fine, the GWH is not famous at all. In fact, I bestowed on the hill that noble moniker. Why are you laughing?)

Everyone else calls the hill 13th Street between Arkansas and Colorado. But look closer at the cross streets (from south to north -- bottom to top):

Emerson
Farragut
Gallatin
Hamilton
Ingraham
Jefferson
Kennedy
Longfellow
Madison

Q.E.D. I present the Great White Hill.
Visit and we will conquer these luminaries together.
