Hall Wins in Philadelphia, Gebrselassie Wins in Berlin

Haile Gebrselassie won the Berlin Marathon in 2.06.08.  His anticipated duel with Duncan Kibet fizzled as the Kenyan faded and dropped out. 

On the whole, Ryan Hall would rather be in Philadelphia, as he takes the Philly Half-Marathon ahead of the NYC Marathon on November 1.
