Weather boston marathon12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Join the 11,000+ readers who get the morning shakeout delivered directly to their inboxes every Tuesday morning. This photo, taken at mile 16 in Newton, sums things up pretty well. Thank you all from a very deep place in my heart. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth sharing my journey, or if anyone even gives a shit, but knowing some of you find even the slightest shred of inspiration or insight in my own learnings, triumphs, and struggles makes it worthwhile. And finally, to those of you I don’t know and have never met for the interest, support, and notes of encouragement. ![]() To my family and close friends for always being there, no matter what. To my own athletes, who keep me honest and excited about this crazy sport. To Hal Rosenberg of Mt Tam Sport & Spine for helping me stay me in one piece. To Nate Helming of The Run Experience for making me a stronger, more resilient athlete. To my training partner Alex Varner for pushing me hard and keeping me hungry these past few months. Special shoutout to my #1, Christine Gould, for, well, everything. Running can be a very individual sport but it’s far from a solo journey. I have nothing but respect for anyone who stepped on the start line in Hopkinton and gave it a go, regardless of the end result. At the end of the day, everyone was just trying to survive. Maybe it was my Massachusetts upbringing, maybe I was born with it, maybe it was Maybelline. The carnage was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a race, with countless runners staggering down the road and many retreating to the nearest med tent. On a day when many runners fell victim to hypothermia-including a couple of my own athletes, my training partner, a few good friends, not to mention a bunch of elites-I somehow managed to stay warm enough to move steadily through the field. Other than that, I didn’t have any major issues. Tunnel vision and tightness set in over the final 5K. I didn’t (read: couldn’t) take in a single calorie after 15K. I lost feeling in my fingers, feet, and face. It was also a nice rebound from last year’s shit show. It wasn’t my fastest Boston, or my highest placing, but it was without a doubt my proudest finish. I felt privileged to be taking part for the fourth time.īefore I go any further, I’ll ruin the punchline for you: The race went well for me. It still had an energy about it that even the worst of weather conditions couldn’t quell. It was still the best marathon in the world. The rain was relentless and the wind didn’t let up all that much, either. The air had a chill in it that resembled February more than it did April. Monday’s Boston Marathon was equal parts awful and awesome.

If the clouds don't break up in a meaningful way, not only will we not hit 90 degrees, but we may also avoid a widespread severe weather outbreak.Ĭlearly, this is one of those days where we will need to keep an eye on the sky and also on the radar. You likely noticed that we had a good deal of cloud cover Thursday morning. ![]() The sun heats the surface and is the fuel for storms to develop. In order to achieve a higher-end severe weather event, we will need to break out in a good deal of sunshine. Severe weather days like this are never guaranteed. Other than the tornado and straight-line wind damage potential, we are also concerned about some torrential downpours leading to localized flooding, something we have become all-too familiar with lately. It's highly unlikely that we will see any additional severe weather after 9-to-10 p.m. ![]()
