First, why is the Boston Marathon on a Monday? People have to work!
Second, good run, Ryan Hall.
Ryan Hall, the top American in the race today, finished in 2:04:58. That time last year would've won him the race, and broke the record for Boston. This year it got him fourth place. That's just crazy.
The winner, Geoffrey Mutai, ran it in 2:03:02. That's a 4:42 pace! Impossible.
I recently tried to run last year's winning pace, 4:48, for even just a few yards. I'm not sure my legs move that fast, literally. And now the bar just got raised. 4:42!

Boston was awesome this year! Boston is on Monday because in Boston is "Patriots Day" and everyone there actually has the day off to celebrate that holiday.
