Philly marathon runners?

Singlet then of course. You want to feel as good as possible.

Shakeout run here, too - I am still at home. Glad you got to enjoy the city and get psyched up for tomorrow! Woohoo!

My what to wear debate is whether to wear a top under my singlet. I'll wear the singlet with arm warmers, but since we start early, I'm not sure how warm it will be by the finish for the half. Hourly weather says 36-42 between 7 am and 9 am. My singlet is also pretty lightweight, and I have a lightweight seamless short sleeve I could put under it, then stick with arm warmers. I think my midriff and shoulders would be cold. Definitely wearing capris. Hat. Gloves.

I'll have an old hoodie for throwaway at the start. Possibly an old pair of loose workout pants. I always feel colder when it's dark and getting out there at 5:30 am, it will mean temps in the 30's. I'm more concerned about being cold before while waiting - I know I'll be ok once I get going.

I just finish my shake out run.  Legs are feeling good! Philly is an awesome city.  Love Old City! 

I will continue to debate about what to wear though.  It really looks like it will be in the 40s during the race, not getting into the 50s til after 12pm.  At home I always wear sleeves in the 40s.  So, long sleeve shirt?  Or singlet and arm warmers?  Will that be warm enough?  My singlet is way cooler than my long sleeve.    I might go get a light long sleeve to throw away a few miles in.

If it helps you, it was high 30's low 40's by the time I got going in nyc with that ferocious wind... I did have long sleeves on and when the sun was out wished it wasn't...

I'd say singlet and sleeves should be good if it's not supposed to be terribly windy

Singlet and arm sleeves it is!   I'm fed, the bib is pinned, let's just do this thing.

At the same time…even after months of anticipation, the night before a marathon it still never feels real.

Hope you get some sleep! I slept about 60 min total before nyc
