On Easter Sunday we headed up to Breakneck Ridge to get out of the city for the day. The train dropped us off seemingly in the middle of nowhere, with just a set of wooden stairs serving as the platform. From there we wandered up into the woods for what turned into a five-hour hike followed by an hour-long walk to the nearest train station and a final, painful, sprint for the train! As you could probably guess from the photo, it took a fair amount of climbing and scrambling to make it to the top, and some serious effort not to roll back down on the decline! It was more exhausting than I was expecting, but reminding myself that it will likely take me that long to run the marathon kept things in perspective!
