Good luck to all the runners today! It's a cold and cloudy day out, but here's hoping the rain holds out until the evening.
This will be my first marathon so if you never see a post from me again, you'll know why and the OT will be a better place for it.
I'll be taking pictures and will update the OP after the race.
Thanks in advance for the well wishes and
to the rest. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Weather looks like shite with cold, wet headwinds the whole way in.

How can it be your first marathon? I thought you have to qualify for Boston?

Hope everything holds up ... wasn't it you that had a few issues a couple of weeks back? Got friends from the Lafayette area running.
God Speed ... Be Boston Strong!

Charity spots for non-qualified runners. I'm hoping to come in under 4 hours but with this weather and headwind I'll probably be over that.

alabamabuckeye, you can run for charity ... not sure what route this guy took.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 8:06 am to AbitaFan08
Time is of no concern ... I'd say enjoy the experience and know you're doing a great thing by running for charity!

Friend of mine shooting for a sub 6:30 pace!

tke I can't even imagine.

Believe it or not, that's just a bit faster than the qualifying times needed.

OP is on pace to finish in 4:13...he's picked up since the first 5K by over a minute/mile pace.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 12:15 pm to AbitaFan08
Two of my good friends are running in it today.
Best of luck, AF and WF. I love you both.
ETA: Wow! Great times!

My buddy finished at 2:57:xx.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 12:44 pm to Golfer
I'm predicting he'll finish in 4:33. The course gets tougher.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 12:44 pm to SabiDojo
I had a friend finish in 2:57:xx also.
