The weather is predicted to be amazing on marathon Monday. Cool, overacast and a 14MPH tailwind (yes, pushing you forward). I am so excited to follow everyone! If you are not on my list or I don't have your number, send it to me! I want to run Boston vicariously through all of you.
And in the spirit of fun, here are my predictions for your finish times. I hope everyone will take these lightly! If the time I predict is too slow, PROVE ME WRONG! If you run faster than I predict, I will mail you a congratulatory present! How is that for an extra incentive?
Here we go, alphabetically!
ADRIENNE - 3:35; first race post baby. You've got this.
ARON 15714- 3:39; She did a ton of 20 milers, she's been running strong. This is a tough course and the only reason I don't predict a faster time.
BETH (SUAR) - no clue. This girl was injured and she is just inspirational for toeing the line.
BETHANY - 3:45. Only because she has been working a ton and not running much. Plus, Boston is a nemesiz for she and I. RYAN -no clue:)
EMILY - 10698 3:19; She is in a great position to get a present from me. She is likely to do way better. She has been training for this time for a while, her body is used to a 7:30 pace, she's been PRing like crazy, she is on a roll.
KERI 11535- 3:30; She's been sick and planning her wedding. I hope to send her a present, too.
KIM - 3:45 - I think I will send her a present too.
KRISTINA - 3:30. She's been getting faster and faster.
MARY 7986 - 3:09; She will get this even if she will end up in the medical tent. She's that tough.
MEG - 3:20; She's ready. She's been training for this for a while, this is her year!
PETRA - 3:40. I think I will send her a present:)
RAINA - 3:30? Only because she was injured for a long time, otherwise, she'd go much faster.
SPIKE - 2:59 - yes you can rest after!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Your legs might fall off is right! Holy smack! I feel like a bumm-ha!
This is good! Love it! All in fun! I have my own little list here but many are very similar! Raina-you will be sending her a present even with the injury-ha!!! Just a hunch:)
Enjoy your KILLER weekend!
You are the cutest!! And so sweet to think I'm that fast ;) thank you for the good luck wishes!!

Wow you know some speedy peeps.. Good luck to all and may the wind be at their backs!
Fun predictions! I hope you are right for Emily and all the others.
I love this!!! Especially since I needed a reference. I have no numbers written down and still have not figured out how to track them but I'm sure it is easy once I go to the site. I'm so excited. I've never known so many people running Boston. I've never known anyone but myself. Ha ha. Until blogging of course. HOpe to meet you there next year AM....I just have to qualify. Have not done that since my last Boston. :) Yeah, my bets are that Raina will run way faster...injury or no injury...but all in fun is right and I'm so excited to see. I have a hunch Meg might be getting a present too. :) Heck, I want a present! I loved your comment on Jenn's blog today about you and your husband. You guys make me laugh.
Wow - awesome training weekend! Good luck!!
And good luck to all the Bostoner out there - you're going to do great!
Great predictions and lots of homework on your part. They have PERFECT weather! I think we'll see lots of PRs.
I am a bit sad I'm not there to enjoy it...I have a feeling next year will be hot, 'cause there hasn't been a hot one in a long, long time!
AM- thanks for the confidence boost! You are so sweet!
I love that you did this. I hope you had a good weekend away!
Just catching up on all of this now! You were right on with my prediction!! You know your stuff :)
Hahahhahhahhaha!! I am so late to this party! I wish I had seen this before the race and I wouldn't have cut it so close, I am sure! lol
OH man! Did I miss the present because I missed my time? I'll just have to keep with it.
Thanks so much for thinking of us all today though - love it.
