They were regular Ethiopians. They just heard there was a meal at the finish line.

Damn it. I took Dan Mullen to win the marathon at 7 to 1 odds.

I'm not a very successful gambler.

Oh iswyd

Sweep, like a broom, like how big the runners are.

Nice job

, eh, this is one of the many times every day where I read a story and cannot fathom a way to take offense. It is becoming a lost art, but I love it. Hell, I guess you can argue that is my privilege - making it through the day without trying to find fringe ways that others are being "persecuted".

How someone can run 24 straight miles at sub 5:30 pace on hilly terrain is beyond me.

I'm out here now. Right at Boylston and Hereford. Amazing weather and great crowd.

Ran this morning. This was my 3rd Boston and the conditions were by far the toughest. Hot for a marathon. The Boston Marathon is truly an event to experience once. The crowds are insane/hammered the entire way. It's incredible

Be glad you didn't run it in 2004.
