Tomorrow ESPN2 will be televising it from 11:55 to 3:00 EDT. They're going to have waypoints that read the chips and update the leader board.
Bostonians get the day off for Patriot's Day.

INCREDIBLE! Zakharova was marelous at the end, wasn't she! And the men! Those Kenyans...when one thinks of where they train, it's much easier to understand why they're the little pack right at the front! Simply outstanding. Marla Runyan also did well. I was hoping she'd do a bit better, but supposedly the conditions weren't too ideal for racing...no one was setting fantastic PR's for themselves. In my opinion, they're all fantastic anyway.
Fun race!

Some day I'd like to run a sub 5 mile.
In my dreams I'd like to string 26.2 of them together and win a race.

Even if you could only run a string of two sub-5's, wouldn't it be cool to take off at Boston like a bat outta hell and get into the "lead" just for a few minutes? Wouldya? I've often thought that be a riot to give the commentators something like that to gab about.

Seeing them in person going that fast is amazing. The lead runners didn't even look like they were putting any effort into the race. I knew the heat would be an issue yesterday-not a cloud in the sky. I took a pic of Marla Runyan, she was amazing.

I didn't get a pic of Will Ferrell. I expected him to do a 5 hour so I wasn't even looking for him. He did pretty great considering the course and the heat.
