Man, these guys are fast. This time I was on the other side of the ropes. I was the dope trying to get a picture of these amazing athletes, and THIS is the best one I got. The guy that won, an Ethiopian named Deriba Merga, finished in 2:08:42. That's a pace of a 4:55 mile, and his final time is a full 12 minutes faster than my best HALF marathon.
This is Richard Whitehead of Nottingham, England. You might notice he's mis
sing a couple of legs there. That didn't stop him from finishing the marathon about two hours faster than my time.
I've learned that running a marathon is simultaneously a humbling and inspiring experience. But I gotta tell you, I was feeling pretty humbled and inspired just watching some of these people go by.

How cool...an Ethiopian won! You guys will have to frame all of the blurry runner Boston Marathon pictures you take!
