tough day to be out walking, let alone running a marathon
I met some runners from the UK and Oregon last week. Hope that people were able to finish and bested their times. Bet those silver blankets at the first aid booth felt really good after coming over the finish line
Just out of
Curiosity, what made you post about the Japanese man who won but not the American women. The first in 33 years!
I think I may know why, I’m just embarrassed to say it.
And you'd be wrong
Sad fact of life at Universal Hub: I depend on the kindness of strangers. One person was kind enough to send me a photo of the men's winner. Had somebody sent me a photo of the women's winner, I would have posted that.

It Was Marshfield
He was the only one to finish and he slipped on the ice on the track just before the finish line.
A slight correction
There were two finishers in the division.
And for those who will discount a 5:45:00 marathon time, I would ask you what your personal best is.
2:58
3:00 in Boston.
But running for 6 hours in those conditions is impressive, no matter how much distance you cover.
