No ESPN? Not in Boston? Try this link (Make sure you have Ad Blocker on) You might have to click the "Play" button twice. The first time for me opened a 3rd party site, then I closed it, hit the play button again and all good
- They should have cameras for the elite runners warming up. Don't get up in their face but just observe how they're feeling, prepping, warming up, etc
- The wheelchair race should really just be a course preview, similar to as if someone were giving a tour of the course in a car. No need for narrow shots of these folks but use a wide angle and show us the course surroundings.
I’d rather be watching Kipchoge, Chebet, fauble, mantz, etc… getting their last trips in to the porta potties than these wheelchairs

they said the wheelchair guys reach speeds of 50mph on downhills. If that isn't a reason to scrap them from running events then I don't know what is. They don't belong in foot races. Not slamming them. It is just a different sport.
I landed about an hour ago in dense fog as Logan. We were in the clouds adn sudenly slammed into the ground. The headwind will slow things. John Kellogg thought about 2 minutes on Friday when the wind was like 7 mph with gusts up to 16-7. It looks like actual wind might be a tiny bit less than that.
Runners may get wet early. I wouldn't want to be drenched in these temps. Waiting at Logan for the bus that never came was cold.
