    Oh, what to wear...

    Singlet and baselayer? Or running jacket as well? I'd never normally even consider wearing a jacket for a marathon but I've no idea how to plan for this. Trying to do my packing here...

    Pack everything ! As far as I can see they are waiting to see which way a front moves and it could swing warm with a tailwind & storms … or colder with a headwind. They are not going to know for sure until at best 24 hours before.

    So in conclusion, it keeps changing and we probably won't know until Monday morning. Nice to see the wind changing though...

    Now forecasts are calling for a tailwind with higher temperatures and potential thunderstorms. Not sure what to make of this - hate to end up junking my bad weather gear at the start. I'm guessing the BAA email was written yesterday before things switched ?

    Jasus lads if we get weather thats anything like this afternoon in Boston we will be cooked. Cant see it happening but I do think it will be shorts and vest weather anyway despite the rain showers.

    Got sunburn on the face myself. Boston common was busy. Plenty of freebies at the expo.

    I would say London was better organised from what I remember of the expo last year. Maybe because I did the London expo on a Friday.

    I watched Boston online last year streaming via my Amazon Fire TV stick, but can't remember how and all I can find today is that it will be available paid for via FloTrack. Any ideas as to the best way to stream it later?

    Is anyone else going to be zipping up their Yuki suit to challenge him this year?

    If the weather was in anyway decent he'd not stand a chance, but looks like it's going to be tough out there and that makes it doable for him to win again.

    Jesus! There is a point where it's very dangerous for the folks at the back of the pack being out in that...

    The disclaimers at the end of the drug adverts are quite scary on US TV.

    Fionnuala just under a minute behind the big group. If she can keep that gap and then start picking a few off and feeding off that feeling in the second half...... Could be a decent time.

    Unfortunately, I may have been off with that estimate. Be interesting to see how she finishes now though. Historically a strong finisher but a Boston first timer......
