Macmillan says what???

- I plugged in my 1 mile time (5:26) from Saturday into the McMillan Calculator* just for Sh*ts and Grins to see what it would spit back at me.
- As I wasn't very pleased with my performance, I also put in a time I think I can easily hit if i run a smarter 1 mile (5:14).
- I then put in a stretch time of 5:09 that i could reach if it's downhill, the wind is in my back, and i have roller skates on.
- I then did some reverse engineering and plugged in a 3:09 marathon (which is my current goal) to see what that would give me for a 1 mile.
- To end things on a good note, I plugged in the worst time I can get at CIM marathon (3:15:59) and still make it to Boston.

5:26 mile translates to a 3:03:30 marathon.
5:14 mile translates to a 2:56:45 marathon.
5:09 mile translates to a 2:53:56 marathon.

a 3:09:00 marathon translates into a 5:35 mile.
a 3:15:59 marathon translates into a 5:48 mile.

What does this all mean?
- I think it means almost as much as it would mean if I got a Psychic to tell me where I put my TV's remote control.
- Or, it also means that I need to stop being a wuss in the late miles and get my ass to Boston.


* McMillan Calculator for you non runners:
Ever wonder what pace you should be running in workouts? How 'bout when you run a 5K and want to know what you could run for 10K? Well, wonder no more. Since the mid-1990's, I've been working on a method that estimates your equivalent race performances using a current race time at any distance as well as giving the appropriate pace range for all the different types of workouts that you perform.
