This map predicts when runners will arrive at each mile of course. My start time is likely 11:32.
Tuesday
Jared on vacation
Wednesday
Track meet at Dedham 10:00am
Following the Runner
“AT&T ATHLETE ALERT – Register for the marathon’s AT&T Athlete Alerts by texting* RUNNER to 345678. On race day,you will receive an alert as your runner reaches the 10K, 13.1-mile, 30K, and the finish line!” Comparing these times to forecast below will help gauge how ahead/behind plan I am.
My bib number is 33467. There will be ways to check my progress using web and cell phone texts. I might wear a gps tracker. I’m thinking 4:00 target, so I will try to pace myself in early miles to keep that feasible at 9:00/mi pace.
Here is an online course map you can zoom in on to see road options on course
Getting to 1/2 way point
Genzyme supporters and patient families will gather at half way point in front yard of Unitarian church at 309 Washington Street, Wellesley. To avoid getting trapped in a lot by marathon I’d recommend parking in neighborhood off clark street or in neighborhood to right just after route 9 goes under route 16.
Getting to 57 Grove Hill Ave
The normal route to our house is the closed marathon course.  The only way “across the course” from the south is under it at Route 128. To get to our house on the day of the marathon you need to come down Route 90 to the Newton exit 17 on the Mass Pike, and then go up Washington St. to Walnut Street. They will usually blockade Walnut before you get to Prospect Ave. Either ask to go around or just take right on Hull and Left on Beaumont, and then Right on Prospect to get around them.

Jared Opens with Triple Win over Norwood and hits new 100m PR
Healed up from his indoor injury and layoff, Jared opened his outdoor season on an up note winning the long jump in 20’10”, the 100m in a personal best 11.0, and the 200m in 22.6 –his 2nd best time ever (Youtube Video). Â The 200m will likely be the state leading mark for a bit. Andrew Bolze ran 10.6 today in Higham, so he’s 2nd there once that data is entered. Â
Among returning Massachusetts athletes, he comes into season ranked 4th in long jump, 10th in 200m, and 30th in 100m.
I have a bunch of winter meets to catch up on for KP and JP as well.
