I know!! I was a little scared because the weather is FREEZING today and yesterday was so awful.

LOL at a PR for me though. I'm going to be happy to finish. If Boston is where I marathon PR, I will retire from marathons

Also, if anyone running needs anything while in town, or has questions about Boston or anything please PM me. I know I don't "know" any of you, but we are all marathoners

[shorewife]

I know - I'm obsessively checking the weather every day!!

I'm staying in Cambridge. There is a hotel shuttle to the green line Lechmere station that I can take to Boston Commons to pick up the transportation buses, or I can take a cab for about $10. Which do you think would be easier/less stressful?

[clseale]

I laughed at myself when I pasted the forecast, because, well, I know you guys have already seen it no less than 30 times by now. Lol

[melmel48]

Prime racing weather, but as a spectator I will be all bundled up!    


I am really looking forward to Boston race reports! Maybe I will post a race report about my 5k. I am super stoked to run across the finish line, although it won't have the same appeal as running across it after finishing the marathon! 

Good Luck Boston Racers!

[shelbyann]

Good luck, y'all!

[jordylee]

I am so excited to follow along this year! The forecast looks perfect.

Good luck everyone!!!! If you want to post bib numbers here, we will stalk the crap out of you.

[thom]

Good luck ladies! Hope it's a wonderful day for you all.

[cinco]

It's looking great. I feel like it can still change a bit, but a 75+ degree day is very unlikely at this point. That was my biggest weather worry.

True, but the few days leading up to it and the few days after, all look awesome as well. You guys are golden.

Go fuck shit up, my lovely, bass-ass, friends. Fuck. It. Up.

I am so excited for all of you!

Take a cab. Less stress, the better.  Have the hotel concierge have a cab ready for you. Or get Uber.  Its a car service app. Its awesome

My bus leaves the Common at 5:30. The T starts running at 5:15.  I don't live far, so I don't care, but I wouldn't want to risk it.

Ermahgah!!! I am SO excited for you guys.

I can't wait to join you all in 2015.

[kams]

I was saving this for you, clseale, but I think this is a good time to use it. I'll find another gem for you soon

Go get it ladies! I can't wait to watch!

[labbie]

I am so excited for all of you and cannot wait to hear about it! Amazing- good luck, and have fun out there!!

No words for how much I love this.

[skwcm80]

Good luck ladies!! I'm so ridiculously excited for you.

kams I love that pic so much.

[jamalynn]

Good luck ladies!

[kams]

Lol. I've had that pic in my phone since clseale 's last marathon, but I couldn't figure out how to post it at the time. Hahahaha so lame.

[bostonmichelle]

Good luck everyone!!! It looks like a great forecast for Boston.

[runblondie26]

Thanks for the support ladies!

It's going to be my worst marathon ever. I'm SO FRIGGIN' EXCITED anyway! I'm really happy that I even get to be part of it this year.

I hope all of you that want to run it get the opportunity one day. We already have a nice cadre forming for 2015.

[runblondie26]

Haha, that's great kams!

[jene]

Good luck ladies!!

The first time I ran Boston, we stayed in Cambridge. I actually called a cab company and scheduled a pick-up time the night before. Easy peasy. I'm sure the T would be easy too, but I didn't want any room for error with my pre-race nerves.

Ha! I love it! 

[sadlebred]

Good luck, ladies!

[psyri]

Good luck everyone! I lived in New England long enough to not trust the weather forecast more than a day or two out, but seems promising so far. PRs or not, I'm sure it will be a race to remember!

[Stheneboea]

Best wishes all for an outstanding race! I'm running the 5k on Saturday.
If I can be of any assistance -I live in Cambridge please let me know!

[boston340]

Good luck Boston runners! Know that the whole H&F board will be cheering for you the whole way!
