Hills with names

I think we named the hill in Lincoln Park which exits out to 4th Street...

The Last Hill:-)

Other hill names, anyone?

"The Ambulance Hills".

The 4th street hill didn't seem as bad Saturday, but we hadn't ran 11.5 miles prior to it either.

Mt. Runmore was the name we used in high school for the Lincoln park hill on the cross country course.

I don't think the blog administrator would allow me to post the names I have for the hills on the LM or the Abe's Amble course.

Hey Barry...who was the yellow streak crossing Chatham Road at noon today?

Barry House said...

Dunno, Tim, but my guess is it was some poor schmuck trying to avoid getting hit by all that crrrrazy lunchtime traffic!

But I sure didn't see nobody streakin' . . . .

We had hills in Elmwood, IL that were all within a block of each other that we called Hospital Hill, Pain and Agony. They were each steeper than the other. The four mile mark of an already ridiculously hilly five mile course was about 3/4 of the way up Agony and then you had a 2 1/2 block downhill that was just cruel and unusual punishment about half a block after cresting.
