American Meb Keflezighi won the 118th Boston Marathon earlier today with a time of 2:08:37.
Meb after the race, “It was my dream to win Boston and to make it just like the Red Sox did and do the same thing for the people.”
He kept looking over his shoulder the last three miles to see how much distance he had on Chebet. He stated afterwards, “Looking back is not a bad thing, it can save you a win.”
He had enough left in his tank to hold off Kenya’s Wilson Chebet who finished 11 seconds behind the San Diego native in 2:08:48. Chebet’s fellow countryman Frankline Chepwony finished just two seconds behind him in 2:08:50.

Ethiopian Markos Geneti won a soaked 2011 Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday with a speedy 2:06:35 finish. Geneti won $125,000.00 for finishing first and winning the gender challenge. The women were spotted 17 minutes.
Remarkably Geneti had never run a marathon before. The 26 year-old Ethiopian complained of a side stitch throughout but none of it seemed to matter as he set a record for the fastest California marathon time….ever!
Defending champion Wesley Korir finished back in 4th place with a 2:13:23 finish.
Korir hit a massive wall at mile 21 and thought he was done, for good, “”First of all, I’d like to thank God that I’m still alive,” said Korir, smiling. “I thought it was the end of my life.”
