The men's world record has fallen yet again, and again in Berlin. Wilson Kipsang's world record time of 2:03:23 last year was broken this morning by his countryman Dennis Kimetto. Kimetto ran a time of 2:02:57, the first man to go under 2:03.
This is the 7th time a world record has been set at Berlin (and the 6th since 2003), which only makes me want to run the Berlin Marathon even more. To be so close to such greatness must be so inspirational. That and the fact that I used to live in Berlin and love that city more than any other.
I'm sure I'll run it someday. For now, though, I'll settle for Boston first.
