my dad's a hard core runner

well many of you don't know this but my dad runs marathons. (26.2 mile run) He has run like eight i think in the past couple of years. Anyway, his main goal out of all the races was to get a total time of 3 hours and 30 minutes. if he did, then he could qualify to run in the Boston Marathon. well in a race he did about 6 months ago, he qualified!! and got exactly 3:30! so today, he ran a marathon in Boston! (it is a huge deal) and he said that he wasn't gonna try to get a good time or anything, he just wanted to have fun!  and that's exactly what he did,  cause his final time was: 3:48:04. i haven't talked to him yet, (since i didn't go with him) but i bet he had a great time!
