I ran the 1969 and 1970 Boston Marathons, plus several other races, with Bennett Beach, my friend on the college paper. But he had started a year before that, and he has finished every single Boston Marathon since then.

In other news, Geoffrey Mutai won today's race with the fastest marathon time ever. Congrats! But I was mainly looking to see how Ben Beach had done.
