Lance Armstrong runs Boston in 2:50:58

Lance Armstrong set a goal to run today's Boston Marathon in under 2 hours and 40 minutes. Although he did not reach that goal, it's amazing how people are drawn to his story. Once the winners crossed the finish line, VERSUS followed Armstrong to the finish. I found myself curious as to how fast the winners were.. but I was really more interested in Lance, and to see how well he would do. Watching the winners look like 26.2 miles was effortless does nothing for me. However, to watch Lance and see that he is in pain (like normal people feel during a marathon) is what draws in viewers. Armtrong came into his 3rd career marathon a little heavier than in his past 2, and missed several long runs a month ago due to a foot injury. Afterwards, he said he was like everyone else.. he struggled over the last 4 or so miles and again said running a marathon is the toughest thing he's ever done. That says alot coming from a man that has won as many Tour de France's as he has.
Today's winners were: Robert Cheruiyot in 2:07:46:, and Dire Tune in an unofficial time of 2:25:25.
