It will definitely help. It'll make the workouts seem more appropriate and achievable again. You can see historical weather on weather underground.
I do plan on getting a Garmin Forerunner 245, I'm just holding off a bit because it's not "necessary" yet and my phone is falling to pieces. I hate making multiple large purchases at once!I'm not sure if it is in your budget, but even an older, refurbished Garmin Forerunner 10 or 15, would alleviate a lot of your stress. Runkeeper was nothing but trouble for me, but I do live in a very rural area.
@DopeyBadger
should I worry about my cadence? Apple always says it's at like 128, which from my understanding is pretty bad.
I'll make sure to glance at my cadence.
Right, that makes sense! Plus, I don't have any plans to run one until you tell me to.Review it when it's done and not during. I wouldn't make adjustments to cadence in the moment, because it's more likely to lead to some bad form adjustments due to overreaching.

Thanks for the advice !
@DopeyBadger - I’ve tried to be so good this training cycle with getting all my runs in. I think I’ve done pretty well overall. I hate that now it’s taking a bit of a turn this close to the race.
I ran on Monday, but missed Tuesday’s run. Today is supposed to be a “hard” run. I’m feeling a bit better than yesterday, but I was thinking of modifying todays run into a shorter easy run. Something like 3 to 3.5 miles so that I don’t push my immune system. I guess my question is how much will this set me back? If it’s going to ruin my progress too much, I can always chance it, but I’d like to stay healthy too. It’s a delicate balance.
Hot Chocolate is SO close and I'm a bit nervous about maintaining speeds for 9.3 miles. I am going to have to come up with some sort of game plan for the race, but no idea where to start! I obviously want to start slower, but not too slow so that it messes with my overall pace?
