Boston Tribute

The 113th running of the Boston Marathon is Monday. Best of luck to my good friend, Laurie Aaron who will be taking the 26.2 mile tour.

As a tribute to Boston and marathoning in general, here's the finish of the 1982 Boston Marathon, what has long-been referred to as the Duel in the Sun between Dick Beardsley and Alberto Salazar.




I met Beardsley at the Austin Marathon and it looks like he could still kick out a strong marathon finish.
