Fun run with two past champs

Marshall and Emily run with Bill Rodgers and Todd WilliamsEmily and I participated in the fun run last night with Bill Rodgers and Todd Williams. So, when you think about it, the folks in the picture to the right have 6 River Run titles, the American record for the 15k (42:22), 4 Boston Marathon wins, 4 New York City marathon wins, 3 Olympic appearances and a 2nd place in the 30-39 age group at the 2004 Spring Jubilee 5K. Pretty impressive stuff, eh?

UPDATE: I found Todd Williams' splits for his American record 15k on his website:
1 mile - 4:23
2 mile - 8:46 (4:23)
3 mile - 13:15 (4:29)
4 mile - 17:46 (4:31)
5 mile - 22:24 (4:38)
6 mile - 27:04 (4:40)
7 mile - 31:50 (4:46)
8 mile - 36:21 (4:31)
9 mile - 40:58 (4:37)
15k - 42:22 (1:24, 4:40/mi pace)

His splits were slowing until he hit the Hart Bridge and he dropped 15 seconds from the previous split going up that beast.
