Boston weather is MOST confusing. Take for instance now. It's 51, so it's not freezing but not exactly t-shirt weather. It's overcast, but at the same time it's bright. Humidity is 84% but it doesn't look even mildly wet out. And I'm sure in about 20 minutes it'll either be a gorgeous, sunny day or all hell will break loose and it'll be freezing and torrential downpouring.
And this week it's supposed to be sunny and 50-something, but last year at this time it was snow storming. This weekend at Chris' I ran in shorts and a t-shirt, and wished I wore a tank top. It felt like summer - in mid November!
The GOOD news is, for the marathon it's supposed to be sunny and 50 again - perfect! The bad news is, that means at 6 am when I get there I'm going to be balls freezing but half way through I'm going to be dying of heat. What a predicament. Maybe I'll just buy cheap long sleeve shirts and shed them as I run.
In other news, more than anything I want a Garmin watch to run with in the marathon so I can track my pace (which I've been doing with Chris' watch) but the problem is Chris is going to use his watch for the race, meaning I'm back to my old stop watch. I should have never spoiled myself with that thing. It's addictive. I love it. But Garmin GPS watches are a luxury of the rich Boston runners and Pro athletes who get them free from sponsors, and not poor college kids. Oh the quirks of being 21.

PS. Sine I started and finished this entry, the sky has gotten notably darker and the wind picked up.
