World Records CAN NOT happen in Boston since it's a point to point net downhill course. They can change this to 50 million, it won't ever happen.
For those keeping track at home, this is the 114th running of the Boston Marathon.

They just clarified that that was indeed the time for the full 2 miles.
47 at the start. Doesn't seem to be much wind. Mile 4: 5:41.
About 15 women in lead pack 23:30 into the race.
wind is in the back I heard - whenever I run, it's in my head. Damn it. ;)
Women on 2:26 pace through four miles.
Anyone have a good recommendation for the best way to follow the race live if your work doesn't allow streaming media?
I have paid to watch the race. My paid link is only 1 second ahead of that free link people have found.
But the quality of the paid link is way, way better.
Free link is here:
