So. Gulp. The Boston Marathon. Yeah, I'm running.
Boston is held on Monday April 19th, which is the Patriot's Day holiday in Massachusetts (and Maine, I think, but nowhere else). I am starting about in the middle of the second wave, which starts at 10:30 EDT, although it will probably take me around 5 minutes just to cross the start line. My bib number is 20054.
( How to track me, and what my goals are )
I've been watching the weather forecasts nervously, but it's still too far out to really tell. At the moment most forecasts are predicting low 50s and overcast (good), moderate wind from the N (not great, but not awful - it's a crosswind), 30% chance of rain (I'd prefer not). Tomorrow I drive to Albuquerque and stay with a friend (turned out I could get a far cheaper ticket that way), and on Friday afternoon I arrive in BOSTON!
