Turns out my cousin's wife got injured in training and didn't run today. They were just there to cheer on some friends who were running. Last I heard they were OK, but, as you can guess, the flow of detailed information in and out of Boston is pretty patchy right now.

SMS seems to be working better than mobile voice.

SMS will probably not go through at the moment: "Cellphone Service Shut Down in Boston" http://bigstory.ap.org/article/official-cellphone-service-sh...

"A law enforcement official says cellphone service has been shut down in the Boston area to prevent any potential remote detonations of explosives."

I am in the greater Boston area (outside of the city itself). Cell service has been on and off but ok overall.
