Dougie is already over 11mins per mile...

Slow. Almost exactly twice my wife's marathon time. He lives in Melbourne Beach, FL? Douche.

His time was 5:23:54. Not a fast time, but pretty good for a 50-year old guy who didn't train for it and just ran on a whim.

Considering you can almost walk that fast, yeah, sure.
