Congratulations: Boston 2014

"The Blue Mountain" would like to congratulate 38-year-old Meb Keflezighi on his stirring victory (and new pb of 2:08:37) at yesterday's 2014 Boston Marathon. Well done, Meb :)

*And well done Ryan Hall, Nick Arciniaga, Craig Leon, Jason Hartmann, Josphat Boit, Jeffrey Eggelston, and the rest of the American runners in the field. According to this report by Robert Johnson of letsrun.com, the tactical decisions (orchestrated by Hall) of the American men during the second third of the race may have provided Meb with the gap he needed to secure the win. Classy team-work, men.

**Finally, congratulations to my friend Ali, who set a new pb of 2:57:25, and finished as the 100th woman in the very competitive field. Well done, Ali :)
