The longest I've ever ran is a 10k back on Thanksgiving. I did it in 39:36 (my goal was to be under 40 min), a 6:23/mile pace. That put me in 59th out of 4100-something runners. I've been thinking of trying a half marathon, and I bet I could do it in about 100 minutes. But I'd get bored as hell slogging along at an 8:00/mile pace.
