Hall to run Boston

The front page should say Hall to run 2011 Boston, not 2010 Boston.

Thank you Morgan Freeman

God is going to smite me because I make fun of Ryan Hall?

Is your God not compassionate? Besides he's too busy teaching Stevie Johnson how to catch a football

Should have posted the story the first time. Sorry for thinking you were a troll.

2:09.14!!!

That's a lot of marathons - I understand he needs to make some money and the trials and games don't pay, but sheesh - can Hall make 3 good marathon efforts in 16 months?

No.

Hall is soft.

I don't see a problem with running Boston before the trials. In fact, I think it's a natural choice for the spring - his appearance in Boston is probably worth more in terms of publicity than it would be in London, and with many of the top Olympic contenders probably out of the way, Hall may actually have a chance. Only focussing on trials would also mean he would not race in a truly competitive marathon before the Olympics.

All this is relevant only if he can run another 2:06 marathon, of course - if he can only go 2:12, then running Boston is an even smarter choice. I wish him good luck.

I thought it was an old story at first and didn't even pay much attention to it. Until I saw this thread.

Who cares

um, boston closed like the day it opened. who is this guy and why can he just get in when he wants?

Probably just some charity jogger taking the spot of a real runner. What a joke.

Nope, he's going back in time though devine intervention to re-run the 2010 Boston marathon. Should be interesting.

Well I guess we will see how good of a coach God is. Obviously if Ryan Hall runs anything less than is maximum potential we can conclude God doesn't know any more about running than any other coach. Will Hall be drinking special holy water during the race? Will Jesus make his return to pace Hall? With everything God has to do and now with coaching duties, does that mean he'll have even less time to help all the starving and dying children in the world? Why has God chosen to coach Hall but decided to end Josh McDougal's career? ???

Thugwane (sp?) who won 96 Oly marathon had I think 3 from Jan to Aug.

Charlie Spedding ran Houston, London, Olympics (Aug) and was a medalist.

I guess its possible if you recover properly.

Haha, post of the day from Guppy. As for "wrong again," oooohhh I'm real scared big guy. Bet you can't wait to point and laugh at me from the comfort of a heavenly cumulus cloud while I'm being eternally tortured. Keep up the scare tactics big guy, you aren't convincing to anyone with half a functioning brain.

Yeah, right.

I find this notion of calling professional marathoners "soft" laughable. If they were soft, do you think they would be doing marathons and marathon training year after year for a living?

With the same logic, why don't you bust out a 2:06? What's the matter? Too soft?

If Ryan Hall wins, I will go to church for three consecutive weeks.

What a bunch of pubes !
