Comic Will Ferrell completes the Boston Marathon

[Margie J]

SNL's own Will Ferrell ran the marathon today and finished with a time of 4 hours 2 minutes and a few seconds. He ran with his wife, who completed the half marathon.

Ferrell said he began running several years ago to get into shape and has run other marathons also.

That's so cool! I didn't know that. I do know some people that did run in today's race. I'll have to ask them if they saw him.

COOL! He's so awesome!

 

[olena]

Neat!

I saw him being interviewed this morning, before the race. He said something like "I just want to cross the finish line before the guy in the Gumby costume does!" ....or something like that....LOL I really like him, he's a riot

He is so hilarious!

So??

Gee, I wonder how he was able to get in the field. Most people have to post qualifying times for the Boston Marathon, and the time for his age is much less than 4 hours.
