Okay, the kid's dropped off at school and I'm parked in front of the computer. Now I can watch the feed!

About time you got here!!

Hall is 26 seconds behind the chase pack, which isn't even visible behind Meb? Yeesh.

Pacific Time has its disadvantages...

[Michael Mitchell]

Not sure Mark. Meb is running a 2:08 pace, so this is not out of his wheelhouse. Ryan. Not sure. Maybe just finishing a marathon is a good thing. Or maybe he is waiting. Desi, hummmm

Meb is looking great!!

Sounds good to me...A gorgeous day!

[Michael Mitchell]

Shalane dropped way back. My goodness.

[Michael Mitchell]

Caroline Kilel is out. She dropped out.

At 20 miles, Buzunesh Deba (ETH) takes women's lead in Newton Hills. (1:46:45) Lead pack down to 4 runners. Shalane Flanagan (USA) falls out of pack. Caroline Kilel (KEN) drops out of race

[Nick Morris]

Shalane dropped way back. My goodness.

Yup...looks like the hills got to her

[Michael Mitchell]

Can Meb do this? Can he maintain?

[Nick Morris]

Can Meb do this? Can he maintain?

35 seconds and continuing to build...I hope he can (fingers crossed)

over a minute now!!

Ugh. I can never understand why these elites push so hard at the beginning. What's the point in leading for the first 18 miles if you die at Mile 19?

[Nick Morris]

With the fairly decent weather, I was thinking that the pace would have been pushed for the men's race.

Go Meb Go!!!!
