    @GreenMountain and @TallerThanPedroia you know where to find me on Marathon Monday. Swing by and say hi and I'll keep you warm and dry for a little while before the race.

    Great job, GM!! Where you're from, yesterday's weather must have seemed like a mild day. Happy to do my part to make your day a little easier. Same time, same place next year?

    Sorry I won't see you tomorrow, Joe, but good decision. Plenty of time to be ready for next year. I need sleep- heading to the athletes village in a little over four hours from now...

    For those of you hesitant to run on Monday, you don't have to. Baa will allow you to defer to 2013. Posting from my phone, so I don't have the link handy, but check their site

    Public perception would agree, but it isn't as rare or as unsafe as you might think. More likely: the relatively close quarters of the convention center finish festivities + an overwhelmed medical and volunteer staff + a few folks that happen to be suffering from the norovirus + a group of...

    Apologies, just saw this post. It seems like three waves went about as well as planned. From where I was, there seemed to be a bit of a back-up between waves 2 and 3, and we could have used a few extra minutes (literally just 2-4 more) in between waves, but we anticipated that and had extra...

    For those that ran on Monday: please post any and all critiques and comments as the memories come flooding back this week. A great portion of my time (too great, if you ask my wife) goes to making sure you have as positive an experience as possible. Early feedback looks like this year might have...

    It will be interesting to follow next year. At the very least, this new process should reward accomplishment - beat your qualifying time by a wide margin, and you'll have a better chance to get in. Yes, folks who 'just' make their BQ might get locked out of the race, but that happens in the...

    Might as well jump into the conversation here - I'm on the race's organizing committee. While there are always unofficial, internal conversations about how large the field can get*, I believe registrations are projected to remain fairly level in the near future. That said, going with three waves...
