Runningwild is #14941.
I'm #346.
They used to start the non-elites at 1,000, but I guess they changed it this year. This is definitely my lowest-ever Boston bib number!

I'm not around much anymore, but I'm running the 5K and the marathon (the 5k just as an easy run).

PS: Killerz has a spare Boston Tea Party Sunday 9am ticket. PM me if interested.

One other thing - the Jays are in Boston to play the RedSox on marathon weekend. I'm going to head to the game on Sunday for a while - can't pass up the opportunity to visit Fenway!

THAT would be the only allowable excuse!!!

Hopefully we will catch you all up at the Athletes Village in Hopkinton.....we will pop our heads in there for a bit before the race!

Go Jays!

Crap. Too bad it's an afternoon game. I'll be working at the expo until 6PM.

I like the time break down.

I got my pickup kit today. It has a picture of the race shirt in it - bright yellow long sleeve with blue lettering, not bad looking. I looked through the merchandise again and I think I'll go for the jacket, a ss tee, and a beanie. Is the expo as big as it looks from the floor plan?

Hmmm... sounds a lot like the 2009 shirt. Make sure you try on the samples when you pick up your kit, as my friend and I (both over 6 feet) ended up fitting best in medium.

Bigger. And it will still be packed shoulder to shoulder. Depending on where you're staying and how long you'll be there, you might want to look into doing your merch shopping at one of the stores near the finish line.

Got my 5K Kit today!

Is it too early to start a weather obsession thread? 8º c and sunny

No, let's totally start!!! That looks nice.

13º c and rain. I realize this is pointless but hey....

Ha! Quite the difference. Still fun to update though. 11 days...
