12 miles.
My neighbor told me he wanted to go at 6:00 AM so we could do a longer run. I got to his house and he tells me he wants to do 10 miles. In my head I thought, this is going to take forever! but I just went along with it and he actually kept a little bit quicker pace for the first 2 miles. During which he explained that he wanted to get faster. I nearly shed a tear because I have been dying running slow with him. Well around mile 3 he just decided to run slow again. No explanation, just about 1 min per mile slower. So I did my usual thing and ran in and out of cul de sacs and added mileage wherever I could or I would run ahead and then back track to find him. In the end I added 2 extra miles in the same time he did his 10. My 12 miles were slower than I care to admit, but 12 miles is still 12 miles. Right?
On a better note, I registered for Boston 2016 when I got back from the run! Hope I make it in.
