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.

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.

Time is of no concern ... I'd say enjoy the experience and know you're doing a great thing by running for charity!

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

Best of luck, AF and WF. I love you both.

ETA: Wow! Great times!

I'm predicting he'll finish in 4:33. The course gets tougher.
