Our San Gabriel Valley coaches ran the 110th Boston Marathon today.Jimmy: 3:17:34 (7:32 pace)
Kate: 3:30:54 (8:03 pace)
Katie: 3:26:50 (7:54 pace)
The United States made its best showing in years. And while 1st and 2nd place fell to Kenyans, U.S. Men grabbed 3,4 & 5, claiming five of the top ten finishes. A new course record of 2:07:14 was set today.
In the Women's Division, no daughters of Uncle Sam finished in the top ten. A Kenyan won here as well. Eastern European and Japanese women perch atop female marathoning, but Kenyan women dominate Boston, sweeping three in a row and six of the last seven. Today's race was a nailbiter with the Kenyan surging for the win, holding off a late charge from a Latvian who finished 10 seconds behind.
I'm not sure who won the wheelchair division.
Or the couch-bed division.
But someone did.

From the little bit my pea-brain has learned about marathoning, it looks like your guys did WAY well.
