Comments:
Woke up to a delightfully cool morning for DC in July. Drove to park next to the synagogue at East West Highway and jogged south to meet Mustang, Alice, Ella, Annie, and Abby at Meadowbrook Stables. We ran about 1.5 miles before building into a tempo pace after crossing Jones' Bridge Rd. Abby and I eased up about a quarter mile north of Cedar and did a few leg swings and turned back at the "Rock the Creek" turn-off, uphill exchange. Had about 4 minutes of easy jogging in the middle, but then picked back up to our sub 8 pace as the others who had gone a bit further were coming back south along Beach Drive. Pace was solid, and when people began to spread a bit after passing Conn, Ella and I teamed up for the final mile. Despite my miscalculating the distance to the finish, we kept strong all the way to the Beltway. Easy cooldown after that. Good run.
