Sagal and William Greer finished the 2013 Boston Marathon in 4 hours 5 minutes . This was Sagal 's slowest time ever , but one of his most enjoyable marathons given the experience of guiding Greer , who ran the last mile even though he was completely spent and in great pain . Then , at 4:09 on marathon clock , as Sagal and Greer were just starting the recovery process about 100 yards past the finish line the Boston Marathon bombing occurred . The resulting experience is one of the topics that Sagal then took to his speaking engagements . It turns out that Erich Manser , whom Sagal guided in 2014 , was also there just past the finish line with a different guide during the bombing
