Average Marathon Finish Times 2000 to 2013: Boston, New York City, Chicago, MCM
Having completed a deep dive into average finish times by age for the Boston, New York City and Chicago marathons for a single year, it's time to step back and see how overall average finish times for these races compare between 2000 and 2013.
Over the 14-year period, Boston Marathon times have slowed by 10 minutes to the 3:50 range, NYC is steady roughly around 4:27. Chicago seems to be on a slowing trend by as much as 20 minutes; while weather has had an impact in some recent years, conditions in 2011 had a limited impact on the 4:40 average time. And of course, Hurricane Sandy led to the cancellation of NYC Marathon in 2013, and the Boston Bombing suspended the legendary marathon in 2013.
Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath Video Live in Chicago 2012
Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson performs Locomotive Breath as the encore on this 40th Anniversary Tour of Thick As A Brick 2012 Live in Chicago.
This video is of Locomotive Breath, the show's Encore. Ian's solo band features two members of Jethro Tull: David Goodier on bass, and John O'Hara on keyboards and orchestration (see our interview and profile at http://bit.ly/JohnOHara).
Florian Opahle, guitarist, has been associated with Ian since 2003, and Scott Hammond joins the band with a jazz background. In a break from tradition, Ian has included Ryan O'Donnell, a veteran of rock musicals such as Quadrophenia, to the touring group,"work(ing) for Ian as vocals, mime and general stage tomfoolery".
Separately, Martin Barre is touring with his own band -- Martin Barre's New Day -- playing mostly material from the Jethro Tull songbook See our interview and profile of Martin here http://bit.ly/MartinBarre.
