I'll guess 2:06:58.

RYAN HALL is BACK!!!!

~2:10:53
DNF...some made up injury when the going gets tough somewhere after the half point.
DNS - "food poisoning"
Rapture
IF he starts (i give that about a 50% chance, granted he should be tapering at this point and we haven't heard of any issues), he'll either run 2:06-07 (2:06:43... why not) or drop before the half.
He'll be set to finish
He'll make it to the halfway point, at least, so he can give his signature hand-to-ear I can't hear you motion for the ladies of Wellesly.

WTF, brosjo? First you're double posting my threads, and now you're cutting them in half. Too much Boston excitement?
2:07 = WIN
One thing is for sure: Hall will run faster than the Somali Doper on a much harder course.
2:05:14. Weather looks good, it sounds like he is in the best shape of his life, and he's mastered Boston as well as anyone.
GO RYAN!
If he finishes, 2:07:54. I don't think Hall's ever had a bad marathon that he finished.
He's had too much time without racing. He'll be out with the lead group and start fading at about 18mi. Final time 2:09:45
Halls not gonna run 2:08+, if hes running like sh*t he'll just DNF
If he finishes, 2:06:15
I doubt it will be a DNS now that we've gotten this close and haven't heard anything. It is true that pretty much every marathon he's finished has been a "good" one. I think this will continue that streak.
Barring unusual conditions, I say he runs 2:07:34 - up near the front most of the way but holds steady and can't go when the eventual winners make their move.
Hall has been frustrating at times, but he has been our best, so we should all hope for him to do well.
Do they have pacing information available like London did? Do we know how many groups will have pacers and what pace they'll be running at?
2:08:13
Easy. DNF.
