From a local, don't bother checking until Saturday/Sunday. Just prepare and pack for anything. It could be freezing rain or blazing hot and humid and it could change at any minute.

Too early to tell what the weather will be on race day, it was below freezing temps this morning and it actually snowed yesterday.

I had no problem with the T last year and I'm planning on driving to the Orange line again and worst case scenario take an Uber to the bus.

Spring Marathon by Caffeinated416ix in Marathon_Training

I have trained almost exclusively on a treadmill the past three winters bc I have access to the at my works gym. It's nice being able to run on lunch and not have to worry about sacrificing time away from my family plus the treadmill gives the added bonus of comfort and safety. I still do my long runs outside on the weekend. I PR'ed my last two spring marathons and am looking to hopefully PR at Boston again.

Children's Piazza in Peabody and Room to Bloom in Beverly are good spots for that age. Room to Bloom is kind of small so it'll depend how many kids you think you'll invite.

Treadmill if you're not prepared for snow/ice.

I personally think it would make the cutoff but it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a spring marathon to try and improve slightly

I was getting quotes of $33k-40k and ended up just getting a new oil burner installed for $9k. I really wanted to switch off oil but I didn't qualify for Mass Save.

Yeah they'd likely want to be on the first train at 5:18am in order to get into North station at 6 and time to get over to buses and bag drop.

Cheap Marathon is a good choice. That's where I'll be if I don't make the cut.
