Marathon Man

Hats off to Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich, who set a new world record (2:03:23) in the Berlin marathon today. Will anyone ever run it in under two hours? The only marathon I've run, and am ever likely to run, was the London Marathon. I did it in 3:59:44. Those 16 seconds shaved & saved were worth the unheroic grimace, captured on camera, as I crossed the line.
