Took time during work to run from my office, down to Georgetown and out to Fletchers Boathouse. The weather was fantastic as it was a steady downpour from when I crossed the key bridge the first time until I came back to it. Although humid, it kept me cool during the entire run and I was able to get a great pace in. The last 1.3 miles of the run was a gradual run uphill on the Custis Trail from to my office at Courthouse. Right as I was starting to tire from the hill, I hit the top and ran to my office. Finished the 8 mile course in 61 minutes flat for a nice pace below 8 minute miles. I also entered my time into several race predictors and everything seems to point towards me running right over a 3:30 at the MCM next month. I think with a litte dedication and hard work over the next 47 days, I can get my time below my goal of 3:30. Time to get back to work.
