The weather held out for the 113th Boston Marathon yesterday with overcast skies and an average temperature of about 46 degrees (F). Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the race on TV, but the women's race was something else with first place by Salina Kosgei of Kenya, less than one second in front of second place by Dire Tune of Ethiopia . Third place was less than 20 seconds behind that by American Kara Goucher, in a time of 2:32:25. The men's race was won by Deriba Merga of Ethiopia in a time of 2:08:42. American Ryan Hall finished in third place in a time of 2:09:40. It's great to see Americans in top finishing places at Boston once again!
As for our local heroes, I think all of those bone-chilling long runs this past winter paid off yesterday. Some impressive times were posted!
