THIS is the weather we're looking for

Just as Chicago had glorious weather for its marathon a few weeks ago, dare I say so far the weather is looking just as great for the NYC marathon on Sunday.

Staten Island, where we start out, should have a morning low in the mid 40s with moderate wind.

And then the forecast for New York City as a whole (likely centered on Manhattan, where both the middle and end of the race are located) is nearly identical.

These are the conditions that everyone who ran MCM yesterday would have LOVED to have had.

And as difficult a course as NYC is (and one where I don't ever expect to BQ), I wouldn't be surprised if there is an above average number of people who BQ tomorrow. Granted, it won't be anywhere near the nearly 10k people who got a BQ in Chicago, but still...
