I ran the bajeebas out of the first mile, decent second, ok third, slow fourth, and then ran the holy mother of zoroaster out of the last half of a mile. Note liberal use of hyperbole. I was supposed to take it easy today but the first mile felt too good to let it go to waste. Some people say that your marathon time is your 10k time multiplied by 4.66. 10k is 6.21 miles. At my current pace, a conservative estimate for my 10k time would be (in a race), 53 minutes. 53 * 4.66 = 247 minutes = 4 hours and 7 minutes. Of course, this is on a no-hills course. Even still, I think I'm achieving good progress towards my goal of beating Oprah. And who knows, maybe I can beat P. Diddy too if I train hard enough...
