The Boston Marathon made a historic comeback on Monday when Desiree Lindon won- the first win for women since 1985. Linden's time was 2 hours, 39 minutes, and 54 seconds. Only 4 minutes better than second place finisher Sarah Sellers. Yuki Kawauchi won the men's race and earned Japan's first Boston Marathon title. 5 years after the finish line explosions, Linden and Kawauchi were happy to lead 30,000 runners through the drenching rain. The runners did amazing considering the freezing temperatures, and hails of rain.
