72F, 94%, S 16-22 mph.  8:34 AP.  Glad the race wasn't this morning...  Anyway, hope all this easy running has gotten me ready - I haven't felt good at all yet.

The wind should be about the same speed tomorrow (NWS says N 17-23 at 7am) and sure enough, 20 mph wind in the city feels like 10 mph out where I live.  Nice to have trees and structures blocking the wind versus having to run on the open plains.  So hopefully the wind is a minimal factor tomorrow.

I think the big factor is how fast the front gets here. They are notoriously slow in arriving, but if it gets here in time you could be primed for a big race. Either way I'm sure you will do great.

Good luck! Looking forward to reading about it!

Good luck Joe! We're all rooting for you (except Santa Cow, he's just MEAN!)

Go get it Joe! I will be thinking of you in the morning, and will probably get online and runnerstalk!

Weather looked TOUGH, but Joe still came through w/ a PR according to the runner tracking!!
