Okay, I saw Fesh Murgia of Ethiopia with a 2 19 31 which she ran back in Dubai in 2012 so a while ago so seven years ago So anyway, she is the fastest lady towing the line for the women and then of course Dez Lyndon That's right last year's Boston Marathon champion in the crazy weather She is back returning for the Americans the first woman lady American to win And oh, I think it was was it 20 or 30? It was 30 years. It was a long time.

It's gonna be fun to watch you. Okay, Jordan has say the former High school standout and Oregon duck she ran for the ducks and she is she plays third at the Boston Marathon in 2017 I'm guessing she has some unfinished business in Boston this year. I believe yeah, she ran the fastest American debut marathon ever with a 223 I believe it. Yeah, I believe it was in Boston. Yeah, it was in Boston 2017 So I have a feeling watch out for Jordan has say she's got blonde hair a little shorter, but she is fast Jordan I'm short too so nothing against short people right hands out and another American toe in the line is Sarah Hall Who's married to Ryan Hall? So that's exciting to see her there I kind of following up in her husband's footsteps there in Boston and then pretty cool Sally Kip Diego who raced for Texas Tech the Texas Tech Raiders I used to watch her battle my old teammate at CU Jenny Simpson who's an Olympian they battled big-time in college Yeah cross-country and track so Sally Kip Diego is now in a US citizen So this is her first marathon as a US citizen. So that's pretty cool She's originally from Kenya and she will be towing the line in Boston and then another one Oh, yeah, so Edna Kiplegat is a is a sub 220 marathon for the ladies She and four others are also sub 220 So we're talking a pretty stacked field on the women's side towing the line in Boston So watch out for Edna Kiplegat as well. I'm Four ladies under five ladies under 220 is solid. It's gonna be fun. So anyway, they start at 932 a.m. Eastern time And I'm hoping I will be awake and you're gonna see my tired eyes in the morning if you're here live watching As the ladies get going and let's break it down the men's elite field here We go the fastest male going into the race is from Kenya Watch out for Lawrence Toronto of Kenya.
