AM - freezing rain and wind this morning at home.....naaah.  I'll run later.  I did find my favorite Boston forecast so far though:

This is the best of the bunch so far....most have it a bit warmer, but no one is predicting a headwind, so I'll take that as great news.

PM:  38F, 6 @ 8:14 AP.  A lot calmer, weather-wise.  Busy today, but finally got in an easy 6 with some low-intensity strides.

Man, that front that came through was crazy.  It dropped the temperature by 50 degrees (from 80F to 30F) in about 8 hours, and we has some wind gusts over 60 mph last night, which (of course) meant the neighbors' trampoline came crashing through our fence again.

Excellent!

I've got a big Boston Marathon scoop, but I'm sworn to secrecy. I might spill the beans tomorrow...

Just get one of these:

And you're all set. Not sure how it works, but it says right there on it that it controls the weather! Dashboard mounted? That's a convenient new feature! You can't miss!

Looking really good! You would have thought at least a few of the top american men would have wanted to run in that weather... nah, they just all dropped out. Top 10 USA Joe - go get it!!!

From I Just Run on Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 16:23:33 from 67.79.11.242

I like that forcast for you, although I would want it a bit warmer.

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 19:49:09 from 68.102.189.33

personally IJR I would swing for a little cooler lol! definitely decent weather conditions though..no crazy heat, no crazy wind

From Jason D on Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 20:05:31 from 24.1.80.94

Stop sending your weird weather north/east! Sluggish yesterday in the heat, comfortable this morning at 70 with rain. 50 and cold feeling this evening. Crazy hail earlier I guess.

According to my super secret source that's pretty much what the weather looks like from here.

From Matt Schreiber on Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 20:07:36 from 66.17.102.185

That's some crazy wind Joe. Forcast for Boston on the other hand is sure looking good!

From SlowJoe on Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 07:26:52 from 155.219.241.10

allie - so far so good...

Tom - I'll take 10 of those, please.

Jake - Definitely, I'll be in the top 10 34-year-old males from Oklahoma USA.

IJR - I'll take 35-40 any day!

April - I agree, bring the snow!

Jason - I thought the weird weather came from up north this whole time...

Matt - so far so good...
