A more-than-likely boring account of running and racing in the Springfield area.

Wow.
Ryan Hall just ran 2:06:17 for fifth place overall at the London Marathon this morning. That means that he has run marathon times of 2:08:24, 2:09:02 and 2:06:17 to go with his 59:43 AR in the half marathon, all within the last 18 months. I am in awe of this guy.
Yeah, I was thinking that earlier. I remember Footlocker when Ritzenhien, Webb and Hall were seniors and thinking that Hall was probably going to end up being the best of the three. Ritz is good but I don't think anything he's done can compare to Webb's 3:46.9 mile or Hall's 2:06:17/59:46.

To think that 2:06:17 would have been the world record just a decade ago. Now, it's fifth place in the London Marathon.
