That I wouldn't care if he PRs today, we all know he is capable of running times way faster than he has so far, I care far more about where he places than what time he runs.
I just realized that I think all 15 guys in the main men's group have red shoes. Over half the women as well.

Looks like another day in the PNW for Rupp. With most front runners wearing coats, etc it almost looks like a training run. Where does huddle train? I know she grew up in Michigan.
Rhode Island, where she also grew up I think

I think Tamarit Tola is going to win this in 2:07. That is what I would of bet on.

Just that it makes the possibility of a PR more likely. If one of the best marathoners in the world runs 2:08 in these conditions, it's crazy but not impossible. Now if his PR were 2:05 and he broke it, that would be the best marathon of all time...

Well, now we'll have to wait for a chimney or something to fall on the leaders. With that wind, you never know.
A chimney, no. A refrigerator wrapped around them, yes -- the wall + hypothermia.
Loving the triple split screen. Finally..... Rupp looking easy, they have slowed a bit but I can't understand this Kandie guy breaking the wind.

check the first few pages of the thread. there are a bunch of free streams for those outside of Boston.
Men's race is impressively fast given the conditions. Btw, is Kawauchi back in the lead pack?
YES! LIKE THE ANCIENT SPIRIT OF GENERAL YAKAMOTO HE WILL CRUSH HIS FOES! KONICHIWA!

Because BAA is trying to make a fast buck by selling "exclusive rights" instead of trying to promote the sport.
How about that tatyana mcfadden?? We need more coverage of her.
Are we sure Rupp is going for some Guiness Book of World Records record for marathon dressed as the lone ranger?
Yes he is back in the top group :) Hanging on last.
SHALANE HAD TO DROP A DOOKIE

You haters can laugh, but Rupp looks like a boss today.
