Boston Marathon (of course)

The intrepid trio of Sals runners; Mike the 4th, Rickinevermetcottonididntlike and Andyarelativeineverymarathoncity successfully completed the 113th running of the Boston Marathon on Monday.

A cool, but windy, day greeted the runners. Their finishing times were all in the 3:50 range. Congratulations and welcome back to our honored training partners!

I watched quite a bit of the marathon, which was being broadcast live over the internet. The men's and women's races were both exciting as American Ryan Hall took the lead right from the start and Kara Goucher was in the lead pack throughout the women's race and took the lead from about 21-25 miles. Both Americans finished third overall. Kara was 9 seconds behind the winner and Ryan less than a minute.
