Meb Keflezighi placed fourth in the 2012 Olympic men’s marathon today. He was three minutes behind the winner, Stephen Kiprotich from Uganda, whose winning time was 2:08:01.
That is fast.
Patricia and I got to see Meb win the Olympic Trials in Houston in January, so it was fun to see him again. We were in Houston to watch Katie run in the Women’s Olympic Trials for the Marathon. Watching today made us remember January with fondness. Here are some pics from that trip:

Katie ran a very strong race in the 2:45 range.
The hat says: “I know I run like a girl. Try to keep up!”
Thanks for the good run today, Meb.
Congratulations, Katie, on qualifiying for the third time for the Olympic Trials.
You are fast . . . and you are loved!
