Boston Marathon 2010

Instead of streaming the 114th running of the Boston Marathon from a computer, Jessica and I decided to go to Boston to watch the marathon in person. We "started at the finish line" on Boylston Street. We watched the elites on TV at Whiskey's and then moved outside onto Boylston Street to watch them finish, along with scores of other runners, including Jessica's friends Kristyn (3:29:23) and Elaina (3:29:01). Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot won in 2:05:52--a new course record! Ryan Hall and Meb Keflezighi took fourth and fifth places, respectively. Hall set a new course record for an American (2:08:41--59 seconds faster than his time last year).
