Cherry Blossom 10-Miler

Top three were Kenyans, butthe surprise I think was that there was a Japanese guy right on their heels. Didn't clip them but damn close. Matt Downin was first American and Chris Graff was 2nd American.

How about the women?

Anyone know how Jacob Frey did?

Downin and Graff were 6 and 7. Other kenyans and japanese followed, Jacob was 12th in about 50 minutes.

What were the times for the top runners?

why don't you just look up the results? its much easier.

I did

The Japanese guy got added to Boston Marathon last week.

This is a little poem I wrote about cherry blossoms.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now

Is hung with bloom along the bough,

And stands about the woodland ride

Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,

Twenty will not come again,

And take from seventy springs a score,

It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom

Fifty springs are little room,

About the woodlands I will go

To see the cherry hung with snow.

OK, I borrowed it from A.E. Housman
