This morning (Saturday), I had a very small breakfast and was able to get to the DC Front Runners Saturday morning run, which starts around 10:15 right near the Taras Shevchenko statue. There were maybe 40 or 50 people there; most run more than the 3 mile distance I did. Apparently I got a good start, and was able to keep up a fairly good pace. The distance turned out to be 3.0646 miles / 4.9321 km. Time was 24:47, which works out to a speed of 8:05 mile and 5:01 km. Not bad at all, but I was pushing it a bit. I have a slight bit of exercise-induced asthma (poorly controlled cough, a bit of tightness below the throat) from the run which should be gone in a few hours - it's almost gone now. The weather is cloudy and coolish, about 50F or 10C, and all I was wearing was shorts and a t-shirt. I think the faster time and the cool weather caused it.
Map for the distance is below; link is here.
