13 miles in under 2:04!!

13 miles in under 2:04!! Well, I beat expectations...I wanted to do this timed trial in 2:05 and I (we) did it in under 2:04! I ran with LC, who is always the person I run with when I REALLY want to push a pace. We started out with a 10 min mile, and took 2 breaks on the way to the 6.5 mile turn around point (Hooters) at 1:03:45. LC was really pushing the pace...then as we turned around, I got some juice in my legs and pushed the pace for the next mile, jumping ahead until LC caught up at mile 8. We then ran together the rest of the way, doing the last mile in 8:30!!! Now for an analysis of the times. If I plug this into my favorite formula, http://www.runningforfitness.org/calc/rp.php?metres=20950&hr=2&min=3&sec=48&age=35&gender=M&Submit=Calculate it put me at a 4:22:00 marathon...right where I want to be!!
