⚠️ STEEP GRADE This coming Sunday I’m running the Berkeley Half marathon which has some interesting challenges like both starting with a pretty big hill, and ending with 2-3 miles of an uphill grade that looks flat, just enough to make you wonder why it feels a lot harder than it should. Last year’s attempt didn’t go as hoped, finishing with knees on fire that could barely walk after. This year I’m coming back to face both that same physical challenge and also the psychological challenge of knowing what to expect. I took this photo at track 7A at Los Angeles’s Union Station last Friday, yet it reminded me of what I know to expect in the race, and all those Fridays since last year that I've run #NPSF #hillsforbreakfast in preparation. Bring it on Berkeley. I'm ready for you. #LosAngeles #sign #nounspotting #LA #downtown #unionstation #LAtergram #nofear #nofilter

⚠️ STEEP GRADE

This coming Sunday I’m running the Berkeley Half marathon which has some interesting challenges like both starting with a pretty big hill, and ending with 2-3 miles of an uphill grade that looks flat, just enough to make you wonder why it feels a lot harder than it should.

Last year’s attempt didn’t go as hoped, finishing with knees on fire that could barely walk after. This year I’m coming back to face both that same physical challenge and also the psychological challenge of knowing what to expect.

I took this photo at track 7A at Los Angeles’s Union Station last Friday, yet it reminded me of what I know to expect in the race, and all those Fridays since last year that I've run #NPSF #hillsforbreakfast in preparation.

Bring it on Berkeley. I'm ready for you.
