The 85th NASA Goddard 2-mile "fun" run. Or not-so-fun. It was over 80 degrees at noon, full sun. That's my excuse for finally breaking the 15-min barrier. . . in the wrong direction. My run was good for the conditions, 7:35 - 7:35 on the mile splits. 2-1 breathing as I passed the 1-mile point, 1-1 up the hill and in the last quarter-mile (with a bit of a breather in the downhill between them).

I pre-soaked my hat and shirt just before starting, and they were dry by the end. Not a whole lot of sweat, on what was only the second warm day of the year.

I see my VDOT dropped below 40, a new low. Just the way it's going to be, I guess.

Warm-ups. Jog to the start area, put on my bib and tag, then a few laps and 6 strides.

Cool-down run, back to my office. A shower and then a 1:15 meeting.
