Danger on the Horizon

Danger lurks at the Boston Marathon!  The weather forecast looks terrible with a high temperature of 84 degrees in Boston on Monday.  The start at Hopkington is slated to be around 80 degrees at 10am.
This does not bode well for anybody. All predictions of finishing times go out the window and it becomes a matter of survival.  There will be busloads of people who are unable to finish and many will be taken for medical care.  In 2007 the Chicago Marathon was stopped after 3 and a half hours when officials determined it was too dangerous.  They actually stopped the race and pulled people off of the course. The high temperature on that day was 88.
The Boston Marathon has been run the past 115 consecutive years and there have been days this hot or hotter in the past.  As I've read the history of the race, I've often wondered, "what would it be like to run on one of those days.?"  It looks like I'm about to find out.
So, danger lurks but so does adventure. This might be one for the history books.
