Befitting the nature of the race, the founder of its beneficiary, Lance Armstrong, ran the Boston Marathon this year, thereby facing off against the legendary Heartbreak Hill for the first time. He also beat cancer several years ago and won some bike race in France a bunch of times . . . But perhaps you've heard this? If not- perhaps you are a martian? In which case, I'm thrilled you've found the blog. Welcome!
