On March 19th I ran my first road race, a 5K at a pace of 8:28 per mile.

Yesterday I ran my second race, a 10K at a pace of 8:44 per mile.

Extrapolating wildly from two data points, this implies that I will take a break of about 4 hours and 3 minutes during Arisia 2008 to run a marathon (at a pace of 9:18 per mile). That is 53 minutes shy of qualifying for the boston marathon. If I were to wait a month until I turned 35, it would be 48 minutes shy.

All of which is to say that I don't run that fast...

Is running fast a goal?

Holy crap. Go you! Who cares about the time-- not dying is plenty impressive to me. *G*
