A teacher from my school is racing in the Boston Marathon. You've reminded me that we can track the runners. Thanks GR!

It is nasty here. Windy, rainy, cold, grey -- nasty. Last two Sox games were rained out -- today's (10 AM start) may be, too. Just nasty.

This is some crazy weather. The wind was howling all night, and I couldn't believe when I got up, peeked outside and it was snowing.

Weather Alert - Advisory for Participants in the 2007 Boston Marathon

April 13, 2007

The Boston Athletic Association's medical team recommends the following precautions and advice for participants in Monday's Boston Marathon:
FORECAST: The most up-to-date weather forecast calls for a predicted Spring storm on Monday, including heavy rains (potentially 3 to 5 inches), with the start temperatures in the mid to upper 30's. Wind will likely be East (in the face of the participants for most of the race) in the 20 to 25 mile per hour range, with gusts to as much as 50 miles per hour. This will produce a wind chill index of 25 to 30-degrees Fahrenheit.

I didn't even like going outside to move my car this morning so my roommate could leave.
