  1. It was awesome to watch!!
    Shalane should feel so proud – 3 minutes is a huge PR and she ran her heart out!!! She will get it – she has an entire country cheering her on!

    • soooo awesome! and yes, the times for the women were fast as all heck, and i believe that’s all thanks to shalane getting out there and running with guts. she’ll get it! 🙂

  2. I was so happy and so proud to see Meb win. Even as a non-American. This is what your nation, and the city of Boston, needed after last year. They needed to be reminded of the good that can rise from the ashes of the tragedy, of the heroes that stand in our midst, of the superhumans that walk and run among us. I loved the photos of Meb, but I must say this one of two survivors of last year’s event crossing the line together this year, is my favourite http://www.today.com/health/mother-daughter-bombing-victims-cross-boston-marathon-finish-line-1D79559459

    • awww, and just another prime example that u’ve got more than a bit of American in ya! 😉 that is quite a poignant picture as well…hadn’t seen that one, thanks for sharing it!

  3. I watched the TV coverage of Boston, and loved every minute of it! I loved how both Meb and Shalade ran from the front, Pre-style. For Meb, he was sticking to his planned pace and ignoring what the rest of the pack was doing. During the final mile, as the second place finisher started closing the gap, I was yelling at the TV for him to ruuuuun!

    As for Shalane, she ran an amazing PR and that is awesome. Plus, her time would have won in any year from 2003 to 2013, so that really says something about the women who finished before her.

    All around an epic and inspiring day 🙂
