4.7 miles @ 9:07/mi. A couple of miles were at 8:40 and 8:48 early on, but I ran out of gas the last couple of miles. I'm still slowly improving, however, without aggravating injuries so I'm pleased. I'm surprised how little it bothers me when Kevin and Wayne can't hold back any longer and gradually pull away. I'm still hopeful to be back even (or ahead) of them someday. I just hope it's me getting faster and not them getting slower.
