    Boston Marathon

    Great race to watch.

    My SIL finished in 3:34. FIL is struggling mightily toward the finish. Was on pace for a 3:45 at the half, but is now looking closer to 4:00.

        A friend of mine finished in 3:09. He was 1:25 at the half, but it looks like something must have happened and he slowed way down the last 10k.

            Mile21.

            Meb went from a 4:48 to a 5:12 on that mile.

              It's called the Wall. Heartbreak Hill is not that bad I am told. Go out too fast and you are going to suffer on the last six.

                BIL ran a 2:58 or something like that to qualify. Yesterday calf injury in mile 2. Gutted his way through first few miles near goal pace and then backed off and played with the crowd the rest of the way, sat in lawn chairs, gave high fives, etc. Still finished in 3:52. Some people are just at a different level.
