Temps appear to be a couple of degrees cooler than predicted. Still, it will be quite warm, especially with little shade. I'm thinking Kibet will take it out sooner rather than later.

Correct. The guy in the media room just said the high will 'only' be 78.

Just got a text from Chris Lear. He' s living in Boston and biased but here are his picks.

+10000000000

So the live results aren't updating for me and NBC is not showing a race. Not a great start...

Great interview!!!!!!!!!

i know it is early and i don't want to complain but this is already disappointing, they have had a commercial super early, now they are interviewing the mayor after talking to lewis johnson.

i don't care if they talk to people but how hard is it to just use the audio and at least show the race happening. it is extremely frustrating.

i spent the week attempting to convince coworkers and athletes that i coach to tune into this but now i'm hoping they didn't because i don't know how you can get excited about the race with this kind of a start, zero explanation of the field and alot of waste. talk about the runners more list some names.

as i type this they are going to another commercial.

back to commercial!!!?????

i'm going to throw my computer through the wall.

SHOW THE RACE, STOP SHOWING THAT LARGE AIDS INFESTED JOHNSON!!

ANOTHER COMMERCIAL BREAK AFTER THEY SHOWED NONE OF THE RACE.

I hate these guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that's a great looking coliseum

So they went to commercial came back and showed none of the race...unreal

Another commercial break after not showing more than 10 seconds of the race.
