This post is comical for a variety of reasons:

1. Nobody wants to watch a marathon because it's boring
2. Even if someone wanted to watch it, it's at 9:32am on a Monday...a time when most people are working
3. You'd have to have "Universal Sports Network", which nobody has

Hope this helps.

rhetorical. Polling to see if anyone else is going to watch a marathon is incredulous enough

Because its the one year anniversary of the finish line bombing makes it more news worthy to non runners.

A one year anniversary of a deadly and devastating attack does not make an otherwise boring and irrelevant sporting event any more exciting.

Will I watch?
No. Marathons are boring to watch.
Will I be interested in what is going on?
A little bit, but only to see if anything goes wrong which I dont think it will.
Usually know 1-2 people who are running in it so I may check up on their times on their website but that is about it.

They are stupid. Half marathons are a heck of a lot better.

I don tknow about stupid, but I enjoy half marathons. I want to do a full some day but the time you have to put in is very difficult if you want to do it right.

At mile 16 Meb is leading with 2nd runner not far behind. The pack is 40+ seconds behind the lead two.

Meb ran 14:55 for a 5k section of the marathon around mile 15 and had a 4:39 mile on the longest downhill around mile 16.....
