What a skyrocket. Comes out of almost nowhere, runs seven marathons in 10 months, in doing so, whittling his marathon time down to 2:09:37 FTW @ Grandma's, placing himself in a contending duel against Salazar @ Boston. Yet his prep two-mile time was almost a minute behind Salazar.
Was that dairy farmer guy 'the' BLUE COLLAR or what?!?
And how about that Bill Rodgers?!? The leaves the bar smoking his cigarette, and decides to run Boston, winning the thing in what? Something like just 10 months later after leaving that bar and deciding to go for it?
