the actual last hill

He would stop and wait up ahead. I'd just be strolling along watching my feet or struggling hearing my breath, my pulse. You do put yourself up against something there, some mountain you've been trying to climb

but the trick of the trail is you're getting to that actual last hill

incline
is incline infinity

and don't be fooled by going down a hill. up's coming.


Today I am grateful for a kid, a guide.

"This is not the actual last hill. The last one is coming. I just want you to know we're getting close."
