45F.  7:47 AP.  Nice short run in Providence, with a few strides.

Drove a little of the course yesterday and went over Heartbreak Hill.  Didn't seem terrible, but definitely won't be welcome in mile 21. 

Systems are go for tomorrow...looks like an east wind, but pretty light.  I'm thinking that with the crowds around, we might not even feel it.  Temperatures look to be really nice.  This is the race!

A goal - 2:54:59

I think goal "A" is in huge trouble!

From seeaprilrun on Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 14:32:04 from 68.102.189.33

you will be "the 2:50 guy" soon.

From Jason D on Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 15:11:02 from 24.1.80.94

I imagine many people will go out too fast and suffer greatly. Do your own thing and pick off the stragglers. Weather looks quite good. MUCH better than last year. I'll be shirking my work duties as much as possible, watching, and tracking the race. Run hard and enjoy it, Joe.

From joebell1981 on Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 16:44:34 from 99.39.133.24

"A goal" in the bag, Joe - enjoy the day!

From Tom K on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 09:00:23 from 71.228.90.171

10k done! Go Joe!

From Neil on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 09:21:38 from 164.165.24.5

You're knee deep in the marathon right now but good luck. I wish I was on the course so I could yell "ridonkulous!" as you ran by but I missed my flight out of Augusta, GA.

From Tom K on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 09:38:39 from 71.228.90.171

Is anybody watching this? Joe is holding his pace perfectly though 20k. Wow.

From ACorn on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:11:43 from 71.213.40.95

It was fun tracking you all morning. Congrats!

From Tom K on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:13:00 from 71.228.90.171

Way to go, Joe!

And goodbye Santa Cow!

From Jason D on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:14:33 from 128.210.82.162

The 2:58 guy. Glad you are okay, Joe. (Had to edit my comment here from earlier. On my afternoon run I realized it just sounded stupid)

From Russ on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:14:50 from 74.114.3.253

Great job Joe! Way to crush 3:00:00. Congratulations.

From Kam on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:19:33 from 68.66.163.179

You held on well, Joe. Congrats!

From Jake K on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:20:32 from 24.2.76.138

Let's call that one an "A"!

2:58 on a challenging course... yahoo!!!

thanks everyone, will write the report later. I was fortunately gone when the explosions hit...praying for those who weren't.

From Tom K on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 14:19:54 from 71.228.90.171

Have you heard from Derhammer?

From Neil on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 14:40:52 from 164.165.24.5

Great news. Glad to hear you didn't linger at the finish line. Stay safe.

From Dan on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 15:52:34 from 24.209.83.20

Glad you are safe Joe- that is the best news.

From Matt Schreiber on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 16:54:40 from 66.17.102.185

Glad to hear you're safe! Congrats on the finish! Was definitely stalking you this morning.

From Tracy on Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 19:56:30 from 50.103.236.137

Glad to know you are safe. Definitely praying for everyone...

From Bam on Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 02:11:31 from 89.126.28.24

Congrats on the PR Joe. More importantly, I'm glad that you came through yesterday's tragedy unscathed.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 04:57:20 from 108.34.154.237

Thanks all. Tom - Preston texted me, said he was fine.

From joebell1981 on Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 15:14:51 from 99.39.133.24

Congrats on the PR, Joe. Sorry it got crapped on.
