Here's some wishful thinking from ryanflotrack on Twitter:
"6 minutes last mile for Kim Smith but she looks like she is regaining her form a little"
6 minutes = done.
I'm a fan of Kim Smith and would love to be proven wrong, but you don't slow by 50 seconds/mi and come back from that.
i dont think it will happen today for k. smith, but in london the girls ran a 5:48 mile and then ran the next one in 5:02
Is that her? It's hard to tell with the quality of the feed here. Goucher is easy to spot because of pink at least.

And Hall is gone.
This will leave him with more time to do what he came here to do... solicit cheers from the crowd.
Hall dropped. Smith caught 1:38 in
Announcer said 16th men's mile 4:23
Because she's not sponsored by Nike!
American Desiree Davila is in 6th place heading into the Newton Hills! Kara is not in sight

she should let the pack catch her then say someone stepped on her shoe and drop out. wink
WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?
USA RUNNERS WILL ALL FADE BADLY ON THE HILLS.
ROFL, WE DO YOU EVEN BOTHER!
Wrong gasser. She chose to run and claimed she could win. Where were you when I posted that it was a dumb idea to even run? That's what I thought. Monday afternoon quarterback.
Desi is going to beat Kara whether Wejo believes it or not.
hall is leading the second pack and there's no evidence he's slowed down. sitting through a commercial right now.
I lost the feed
Hall dropped cuz of a 4:23 mile. Even he ain't that crazy
HALL WILL WIN
WEJO hates Hall

It is INDEED World Record PACE, it just will not be a WR. A 9.57 100m is world-record pace even with a 4.0mps wind, it just will not be a WR.
Before you get nasty you should be correct.
I think that you missed his point. He is not saying that they may well run under 2:03:59 but that it will not count as a WR. He is saying that they will not run under 2:03:59 and that it only appears that way because the first half of the course is downhill, leading to deceptively fast first half times.
Hall catching up to lead group.
Men's pack of 6 @17 miles, ready to take the firehouse turn. Pack includes Daba, Gebre, Mutai, Evans, Cheruiyot, Cherkos
Desi is stalking!
HALL BACK IN CONTENTION!!!!!!!
Looks like Cragg is out of it? No half or 25k split listed for him.
Hall back in the lead
