Track Your E Streeters

Less than 24 hours to go, and E Streeters worldwide are busy carbo-loading, hydrating, resting their feet, and filling their heads with all kinds of doubts and question about whether or not their training over the past five months has been sufficient enough to get them through the grueling 26.2 miles of tomorrow's Boston Marathon.
Guys, trust me, you're ready.
So here's the official 2013 E Streeters Pre-Boston Marathon to let all of you get your one-stop shopping to get the information you need to track this year's crop of E Streeters running.
Here's how you do it.
Go to the Marathon's Athlete Alert program.
 
Then type in the corresponding bib numbers for the following E Streeters.  You'll get text alerts for the runners at 10K (6.2 miles) the halfway point (13.1 miles) 30K (18.6 miles) and the finish.
 
Heres' their names and their numbers, that's all you'll need to keep up to speed on these speedsters:
 
Running his first-ever marathon, making us proud all around, my son Andrew, number 25168
Running in his sixth marathon, Barry Scanlon, number 25015, and his brother Tommy, running in his fourth consecutive marathon, number 25167
Running in his - get this - his 28TH CONSECUTIVE BOSTON MARATHON!!!!!! - Scott Graham clocks in at number 8142
MCC's IT guru Joe Patuto, now running marathons across the country, marks his return to the Boston Marathon at number 24282 (don't get in the car, Joe!)
And finally, the debut of another "rookie" to the Boston Marathon course, Lowell Police Officer Nick Laganas.  (You got this, Nick.  Don't forget the band-aids!)
Super proud of all my fellow E Streeters, it was a fabulous season of training, with more than three dozen different communities under our belts and just about as many snowstorms.
As fellow E Streeter Victoria would say, the hay's in the barn!
And come tomorrow, sparks fly on E Street!
