Men's won by Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi. 6 of the top 10 men were from the USA.

Both times were the slowest since the 70's. So cold, so much rain..

Why do anything. The enjoyment if it. My Sister was a runner before her knees gave up. Many marathons. She enjoyed nothing more at that time. Me, I rather drive around the block than run.

Come to think of it, there used to be a couple runners that played hockey with us.

They were always out injured (knees, ankles, shins) due to running.

Well somebody must like them.

I'm pretty sure it's the longest running athletic event of all time.
