Monday's Boston Marathon may not be as crowded as some had anticipated with temperatures expected to approach 90 degrees.
The Boston Athletic Association is allowing runners to defer their entry into the race until the 2013 marathon as a way of discouraging some from taking on what could be dangerously hot weather.
Watch the video to see who race officials are doing to prepare for the heat and what advice they're giving to even the most seasoned marathoner who decides not to take the day off.

Well under the circu mstance, why don't you just postpone the marathon ? Oh I know. Because it's a tradition and just think about all the revenue we'll lose and blah, blah, waa, waa. Be damned the health of the participants.
Nobody cares what you think loser.
ditto to you dragcat.
I hope Gatorade is out in full force.
Great. Now, runners who have enlarged hearts like Lance Armstrong's will have an even BIGGER unfair advantage. Armstrong's heart gave him a 20% advantage over his nearest rivals, who would have easily smoked him if they too had enlarged hearts.
forest gump never had these problems... he just ran....
That's what Becky told him to do. Run Forrest run.
@PHIllip so we should eat some french fries before the race?

I'm with bobcat (in a hat)©.
They really should postpone it...
Wow, Dr. Phil blogs on CNN? How cool is that?
That would be really, REALLY hypocritical of Dr. Phil, him being on television and all. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!
So Dr. Phil, is that why they give sodium pills to atheletes?
Been there, done that! And you sound exactly like my coach!
Ty, and yea i knew most of that. And that girl that was a funny comment on the other blog about brain damage. My favorite thus far! Lol
that has been proven to be incorrect. Carb loading does not work and makes the athlete sluggish due to the complex sugars
