"How to taper" by Jay
That book would suck.

Anyone else tracking Hipfan? I have not gotten an update since 35K. I would have thought he'd be done by now.
edit: Just got a 40K split. 3:09:13. He's either jogging and going easy, or having a bad day.
rw would promo the book as a one day a week running plan of 40 miles in order to run "your fastest marathon ever."

It's getting warm out there for the later waves. Nice day out though!
Where the hell is Hall?
Regarding the winners:
"Meb Keflezighi defied his age, nearly 39 years old, to craft an exceptional race and become the first American since Greg Meyer in 1983 to win the Boston Marathon.
Keflezighi appeared to have the men's race locked up halfway through, with a lead of nearly 90 seconds at one point, but Wilson Chebet chopped that lead down to six seconds in the final two miles. Keflezighi was able to hold off Chebet, however, and finished the race in 2:08:37.
In the women's division, Rita Jeptoo of Kenya defended her 2013 victory with a flawless race. Jeptoo slammed the door on the field with a 4:49 mile in the 24th mile, a kick that put nearly 30 seconds between her and the field. Her 2:18:57 beat the course record by almost two full minutes. Her performance was the eighth fastest women's marathon ever recorded on any course.
Shalane Flanagan, who hails from nearby Marblehead, had made headlines earlier in the week, saying she wanted to win this race for the city of Boston. For well over half the race, Flanagan set the pace and dominated the women's field, running at a pace 20 seconds per mile ahead of world-record marks. By mile 17, however, the pack had caught Flanagan, and she found herself fighting for the lead. Soon afterward, she dropped from the lead pack and was unable to keep up. She would go on to finish in sixth place."

Singer who runs a smidge
Pat Sweeney, aka Bourbonfeet, finished in 2:46:44. He usually races either barefoot or in Luna sandals.
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

Bluesky is on my 2014in2014 team and I only got one alert of him at the HM point. Nothing else.
OK, I'm stalking the wrong bluesky, he is at the 30K mark doing 9:07mm.

Never run finishes in 03:46:08! Well off her PR, so hopefully she's feeling okay.
Running is dumb.
