Eritrean-American Meb Keflizighi, a former New York City Marathon champion and Olympic medalist, won the men's title in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.
That means running an average of sub 5 min miles for 2 hours!!! AMAZING! Watch this video for the final few minutes of the marathon so emotional , so EPIC!!!
I am a Marathoner, It's true, I've run 2 marathons in my life Here's a couple of grueling photos to prove it This one is from the Finish of my Second Marathon, the San Francisco Marathon on June 16th, last year 2013. I finished in a whopping 4:33
Scroll back to my first marathon December 2012 in Sacramento - 4 hours of running in the pouring rain
Yes that's me wearing a Garbage Bag.
Running next to a vet I asked him,
"How many marathons have you run?"
He answered, "50!"
Next logical question, "what's the worst conditions you've ever ran in?"
He grumbled "TODAY!!"
I slogged it out and finished in a WHOPPING 5:05:05
on the clock it shows 5:08, but that's because 8000 people ran this race
and it took three minutes to get across the start line
Here I am at the finish almost too spent to raise my arms.
Why all this talk about marathons, and what could it possibly have to add to your business?
Well, of course you remembered what happened at the Boston marathon last year. If not, read the whole history and follow up here
This year, a record 36,000 people are registered to run, biggest year ever, and it's a testimony to the strength of the running community, Boston, and all the people who have run in support
+Boston Strong has become a symbol of triumph over tragedy.
Ok, back to business, besides being an avid runner still and doing my first Triathlon this Sunday in half moon bay, the lesson I get from this year of Marathoning and the Boston experience, is this....
