A Kenyan cop
Rodgers Rop
is now on top
of the runner's list.
He won Boston's
106th Marathon.
And he really is
a policeman
from Kenya,
who said his police job
is "running"
and of course,
catching criminals.
Would you try to run away
from this guy?

And tiny 4'10", heavyweight 88 pounder
Margaret Okayo is also at the top,
another Kenyan running machine.
OK Okayo,
I'll race you
to the grocery store...
maybe tomorrow,
or to the veggieburger stand
for a quarter pounder.

Congratulations, Margaret and Rodgers!
