Marathon weather check at T-10 days

The countdown is on. Ten days to the marathon! I had an awesome run this morning (4 tempo miles in 8:03/8:11/8:12/8:10 min/mile) in perfect conditions – about 7C and cloudy but dry. I even wore shorts. I couldn’t help but think that this would have been perfect marathon weather. The only catch was that half an hour after I got home the wind picked up and it started raining horizontally. Darn. Not so perfect after all.

I know it’s way too early to be paying attention to the long range forecast but that’s not going to stop me from checking in regularly over the next ten days. Here’s AccuWeather.com’s current prediction for November 30. It’s too good to be true.
