Chilly forecast is perfect for Sundays Miami Marathon and Half Marathon
(Miami Herald) Every year, runners getting set for the Miami Marathon and Half Marathon study the weather forecast with trepidation. They expect to sweat a lot during the subtropical endurance test, but they hope for mild temperatures just before dawn at the starting line, then plead with the sun rising along Miami Beach to bask them in gentle or better yet obscured rays rather than beat them with scorching ones. Favorable conditions in the low 50s are predicted for Sunday. But if local and global warming trends continue, marathon finish times will eventually suffer. As the world heats up, runners will slow down. | ||
