the weather is looking...

...impossible. 59-65 degrees and 80% humidity. I don't see a BQ happening. Forget acclimating (not that I believe in it). It's been unusually cold for weeks and I haven't run in more than 50 degrees more than once or twice in the last couple of weeks. Ugh.

A little hope in the detailed forecast though. A front is coming through right during the race. The backside has cool weather and there's also the nugget below. Even though it's only a few days out, there seems to be a fair bit of uncertainty.

ACROSS NORTHERN MARYLAND...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST OF BALTIMORE A
BACKDOOR FRONT MAY BUILD FAR ENOUGH SOUTH FOR SOMEWHAT COOLER
CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT THE BULK
OF THE MARINE AIR BEHIND THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN NORTH AND EAST OF
OUR CWA.
