Don't be fooled by the first half of the race showing as downhill. It is very undulating so little ups and downs all the way in the first half. I'm sure you know all about Heartbreak Hill around Mile 19. You can hear the Wellsey College girls from a mile away so don't assume you are at that checkpoint when you first hear them. Best of luck - great race - the Big Daddy of all Marathons

[@hiltop717]

Love the daily reports! I look forward to seeing them.

[@SBoots29]

Good luck to both of you on all fronts. Boston Marathon, Health and your 100 subscriber goal. Cheers

[@kelli130]

I’m also loving the daily vlogs. The weather there is my favorite running weather. I don’t tolerate heat well.

[@kenknepper5226]

Getting used to your daily updates for Boston during breakfast. Have fun and good luck

[@malloryshowalter]

Really enjoying these videos! Thanks for the work in making them!

[@Annieandrews]

[@isabelringuette8185]

Love daily updates for your race. Appreciate the work put in to make it happen. Good luck ❤🎉

[@katiirabbi]

Awww you guys staying at the newest and swankiest neighborhood in Boston! Good luck!!

[@ailleurs25]

I'm finding these videos so helpful and reassuring in the run up to my first marathon in Vienna next weekend. Thanks so much! ❤

[@dancexxchild]

And then it turned out to be a warm day ☀️congratulations on your first Boston!

[@figureskater71889]

I know it's a shock to your system with the cold. But my Canadian self had a little chuckle when I was in Boston a while ago in March and went for a walk around Boston in the snow!

[@gsoberg]

Welcome to Boston. Yes, training for spring marathons is miserable here 😭😭😭

[@annt7384]

Looking forward to heading down somewhere along the last mile to cheer you and all the runners on tomorrow!!

[@normanjohnstone9231]

Just settled down after my first day in Boston soaking up the atmosphere to catch up on your diaries…I’m in the same hotel!! Hopefully bump into you to say hi 👋😀…I agree…it’s cold..and I’m used to the Scottish climate 🥶

[@Ckblab]

I know it’s not sustainable, but I am enjoying these short, fun, informative daily vlogs! You guys are going to smash it in the marathon!

[@ellachadney3579]

Loving the daily videos. All the best to both of you for Monday!

[@fantaflesdopke]

Let Boston take you for that epic ride ;-) Still my favorite event so far ...

[@judyotto3736]

Love how you are on such an exciting adventure but you also find joy in the little things. Your exciting announcement about having a bath made me laugh! It’s been really fun watching your daily updates!

[@seb_617]

Welcome to Boston! And our crazy spring weather… if you don’t like it, just wait a minute. 🙂 If you can, you should go run by the Charles to Harvard (and beyond). When are you leaving?

[@simonerussell1154]

My old stomping grounds! BEST OF LUCK to you two! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@garybowes6284]

A route taking in Harvard and Longfellow bridges is nice.

[@funwithmadness]

Ha! I knew the east coast was going to be a bit of shock for you temperature wise. :) Good luck!

[@russamehta]

Loving these daily videos. Thank you for taking us along on this exciting ride

[@jmanonmakes]

Welcome to Boston!

[@jamesmoss5404]

Mary is so sweet we gotta bath ha ha enjoy it both. Ben freezing good idea to acclimatised. Love this video truly good luck for Monday.

[@davidatchison6408]

Enjoying this series of videos and appreciate the work you put into them. Fun being on this journey with you! Get some rest and best of luck!!

[@allenalexander5026]

Hi Ben and Mary! Your video brought a smile to my face! So happy for both of you! Enjoy Boston and the Seaport Hotel! Last year, I ran my first Boston and that is where we stayed. It was cold when we arrived as well! You will be sure to get your sleep! Have a great race! 😊

[@T1MB05L1C3]

If you guys think Boston is cold, probably don't visit Wyoming in the spring. April/May temps are wild... it can get up to 20C, but -10C to -15C in the mornings isn't uncommon. Oh and that's before the wind... wind chills can push that to -20C or lower.

[@asmith7746]

The wind is definitely an issue here! Last years Run the Red 50k, there were 40mph (64kph) wind gusts and it was around 0°c at the start. I missed last weekends spring blizzard that affected the eastern half of Wyoming. I definitely hit the tread and indoor track when it got below -20c. 🥶 Another fun part about running in Wyoming is you can run in +20°c weather one day a below 0 and snow the next day.

[@jameschaves5723]

Welcome to Boston. It’ll be warmer on Monday. Hope to bump into you

[@ssppo4703]

It's warm now here :P

[@the_different_dad9943]

It's a blessing for you both to go to Boston. It has been a blessing for us to get daily videos. Excited for more vlogs and the big day.

[@TheCarnivoreRunner.]

Good luck too both of you.

[@andershoenisch1665]

[@sjb1971]

Hope to somehow see you guys! Going as a spectator, heading to airport in about an hour!

[@sarahajeffery3845]

Enjoy love the vidio

[@aaronwhite3298]

Y'all are brave, I haven't been on a plane since 9/11. Even if I qualify for Boston I couldn't go, because it's a very far drive from California, so you'll have to run it for me. I have family roots in Massachusetts, but sadly couldn't explore them. Enjoy

[@dimitar297]

What happened on November 9th to dissuade you from flying?

[@sjb1971]

9/11 is September 11th. Just a different way of writing dates.

[@ArcaneSpells]

100k for Ben’s birthday? Let’s make it happen people.

[@MuchAloha808]

You twice in this video ran over where the Boston Tea Party happened (Seaport Blvd and Summer Street bridges) and not a mention. All you had to do was move the camera 90 degrees! Yesterday's news I guess. LOL...

[@Nayz13]

What is marinoia? 😂 I have ideas but not entirely sure

[@searaph]

Mary is right, you need bubbles or a bath bomb for a post run soak

[@luannedimaggio7025]

What no bubbles???

[@simonhodgson4941]

Stop moaning Ben 😂😂

[@erickappotis9801]

Welcome to Boston!
