That's my 24-year-old son's time in today's Boston Marathon, a personal best by over six minutes on a deceptively difficult course.
He beat Lance Armstrong -- the seven time winner of the Tour de France and a superb all-around endurance athlete-- by nearly two minutes.
All in all, the 112th running of the nation's oldest marathon with the closest women's race in the event's history --neck and neck until the last few meters-- provided for an exciting morning. At least in this household.
Well done, Andrew Olson!
