Congratulations to Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle and Atsede Baysa for winning the elite men’s and women’s divisions of the Boston Marathon today. They each finished in less than 2 ½ hours. Talk about a fast clip. Inspired by all of the Boston Marathon runners, the Colorado Health Institute is keeping a fast pace in the office this week as well. We have presentations, reports and blogs galore.

This post concludes our rolling budget blog. We will post budget updates next week in our regular legislative blog. Thanks for following along.
