Just over 11 min/mile. Yup, sounds about right in my world too. And it's yet another reason I will probably never do a full marathon. I always do my long runs before work, and I'd rather not have to start at 3 a.m. to get done in time.

How do you keep your mind engaged for that length of time? I listen to NPR when I run, and by the time 2 hours rolls around, I've usually heard the stories at least twice! If I had an ipod (am I the only person left on the planet without one??) I'd probably download podcasts.
