39F...yet there was definite frost hardened on windshields and roofs.  After this marathon I will be publishing my research paper revealing the new freezing temperature of water.

7:25 AP.  Today was the dress rehearsal run, but my marathon clothes were dirty so I guess that didn't work out.  I did wear the shoes though.  4 easy, then 2 sub-MP miles in the high 6:40s, followed by 2 easy.  Felt really good and light on my feet.  Hopefully I feel like this on Sunday, and not like I did yesterday.

Weather is looking ridiculously good for the race.  Maybe a slight (5-6 mph) headwind on the last 5 miles going back downtown but that is hardly enough to even notice.

Good luck at the marathon.

Doing some research of my own, I have found that super-cooled liquid water must become ice at minus 55 degrees below zero Fahrenheit because the molecular structure of water changes physically with each water molecule loosely bonded to four others.
