A Marine who ran the Boston Marathon in honor of three men he served alongside crawled across the finish line on Monday as his body almost gave up — but his mind didn't.
Micah Herndon, 31, ran the race in 3 hours and 38 minutes, according to race results. But to hit that mark, he had to physically drag his body along the pavement to finish the race.
Herndon, of Ohio, served several deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Record-Courier reported. During a tour in Afghanistan in 2010, three people he was with were killed when they were targeted by an IED.

God bless him.
Is it that brutal that most don’t make it.
I can’t make it to the fridge upstairs these days.
Just wondering.

Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Marines “First in Last Out”. A good man.

Finishing the race in that amount of time indicates a pretty brisk pace.

I’d be dead some miles back.
You could spot me from maybe a dozen miles away by my stomach sticking in the air

I ran the Philly marathon when I was 40. No training, just about ran it cold, could’ve done a couple more miles.
My time was over 6hrs.

Not an official Marine motto but Gunny Highway would approve.
