Front Runners Short Run

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.

Front Runners Sunday?

Here's the run I want to do on Sunday: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4314229 . DC Front Runners does long distance runs every Sunday morning at 9 AM and the course is along the Rock Creek Park trail. I've laid out a course that's a 10 km distance. I'll let you know if I get the run in.

Yesterday the route I ran with Betsy is here and the distance is 4.6393 miles or 7.4663 km. The time was 48:57 (?) which means times of 10:33 per mile and 6:33 per km. On Friday it was extremely windy - I'm talking solid winds over 30 mph out of the west and northwest - as well as a sudden downpour and a few stoplights, so it's not that bad of a time.
