To win any Boston Marathon would be a monumental achievement, but to win THIS year’s race through one of the region’s worst nor’easters in history, amidst cold rain, 40 degree temperatures, and high winds, would give a person bragging rights for decades.

Congratulations to repeat winner Robert K. Cheruiyot, of Kenya, and the women’s champ Lidiya Grigoryeva, of Russia.
