World Almanac Blog: 'Boston'

This portion of the blog is where I try to learn a little bit. I start with my World Almanac, find a topic and what the book has and then search the 'net to add infobits to my knowledge base.

Today will be the 112th running of the Boston Marathon. It is run on Patriots day commemorating the start of the Revolutionary war. The course includes Heartbreak Hill. An American male has not won since Greg Meyer in 1983. International winners include Suh Yun-bok of South Korea in 1947 who set a world record.
