Meteorologist on the radio said this this morning: "Sunday... runners, be prepared for strong and gusty winds."

wind sucks
Oh, my asthma will have a field day. Maybe I should wear a skeleton tube on my face. Otherwise, I will have a problem breathing.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I think a lot of people bring "disposable" clothing that they abandon at the starting line (and gets donated if I recall correctly). Might want to invest in some thrift store/wal-mart sweats to stay warm at the start.
Best of luck to all the runners!

If Toronto is who I think he is, he is done in 3:20!
Way to go! I hear the wind is a bitch out there.

Oh the wind is horrendous
For those of you who know Goo, he's done in 3:14! Not bad for 60!
Lily's done! I will let her report her own time though....
I DNFd. Asthma attack at Mile 8. I was unable to run much after that, so I DNFd at Mile 11. The wind was so brutal I almost got an asthma attack at Mile 1
Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Looks like the wind was just destroying everyone out there, I saw a lot of people with some pretty ugly splits. Would've been a pretty brutal back half even if you could breathe.

Sorry, Docket. Sounds like a freakin brutal race out there today.

Oh man, that sucks Sorry D. I was actually thinking about you and the rest of the forum folks running today while I was getting in my wee baby miles for the day - it was miserably windy up here too, I was more than happy to be done just after 3 miles.
Thanks, guys. I am OK with th DNF although I feel bad for my friend who got me the spot.
The wind was so brutal at the start bridge I saw two women running with knee length parkas and I was jealous.

D: sorry to hear that. Most races are fun but that certainly was not. Bleh...
8.5 miles today at an 8:36 pace. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a May marathon. It's likely a go.
