It looks like it's going to get hot. I wonder how the breeze is?

Wonderful info and self promotion on Saturn, wtf?
"leg turnover" count: 2

I get worried when the race favorite is the one pushing the pace early on.
anybody know of an internet audio stream for race coverage? there was at least one last year...
I think these are the main three feeds... anymore out there?

Cheruiyot is probably also thinking about getting a fast time to please the Kenyan Olympic Committee. Winning Boston may not be enough.
Indian-file, he said...
One of my favorite days of the year. Patriots Day - Boston Marathon. What a tradition.
Complaining about the coverage however shouldln't be viewed as a negative. It's part of the tradition.
To me, Boston is Boston because of the following.
1) It's on live on television.
2) IT doesn't start too early so it's easier to watch.
2) There are no rabbits so it's more interesting.
3) Every year there are a thousand posts on how frustrating the commentating is.
Looked like 5 mile split was 24:39. After 5:16 first mile, it means they ran the next four in 19:23 (4:50.7 pace). So that's 2:07 flat pace ignoring the first mile.

I want to see how many are in his posse and if they are carrying a light lunch for him.
Like NY, I don't believe he's running with a posse.
What does this mean?
"When there is not a leader in front"
It's not so much complaining as finding humor in it I always have felt. I don't doubt that it's tough to commentate a marathon. But sometimes they just say hilarious things while trying. Anyway, the musical choices by WBZ are far more troubling than anything else.
Men are flying, already starting to drop people. RC isn't towing the field on his own anymore but he's right at the front.
Robert Cheriyot is stopping for water at every water stop which tells me that he's trying to stay hydrated throughout the race. LOL LOL LOL Holy shiznit!
hahhahahaha - their shoes weigh about 3 slices of bread!!!!
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has a 1989 Ferrari 348 GTB and he's just put in paperwork to upgrade it
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
