Live blogging the Boston Marathon

I'm on my way to Hopkinton, Mass. to the starting line of today's race. The Boston Marathon is a point-to-point race, and it'll finish on Boylston Street in downtown Boston. It's 41° now with a windchill of 35°. The wind's not too bad now, but they're calling for a headwind off the Atlantic from 15-25 mph by the time the race starts.

I'll try and post a few pictures from the race (or at least from the start and from the top of Heartbreak Hill). You can track my progress here (my bib no. is 27178) and follow the leaderboard here. Live coverage of the race is here. Update: Here I am at mile 26 (pictured right).
