28:22 was my time, which is slower than the other times I have run this distance but it seemed to me like I was going faster than I was. I thought I had done it in 24 or 25 minutes. Oh well, I ran in the dark on the hilly Irvine stretch of Back Bay, up to Santiago St. and back home and mostly enjoyed the run in spite of the slow time which was, on average 9:09 min/mile.
