Thanks Michele, it's a local race near me. The story of my marathon life is being repeated   : Thu 54 degrees, Fri 54 degrees, Sat 60 degrees, Sun 66 degrees. Oh well, it will start early so hopefully it will be cool then. I am assuming you are NOT running Cleveland?

No, I'm just pacing the 4:10 group for 15.8 miles (that is in front of my house) - only half if that is all my cold allows.  It is only supposed to be 60 here.
