As Greg Meyer is still the last American to win at Boston, I sure wish Ryan Hall would have given the Boston Marathon a shot in his debut at the distance. I think taking the big $$ at London over winning the most prestigious race on the planet would have been money in the bank in the long run...and YES I think he would have won in record time.
