I think I could walk to the end of the block in 9 minutes, 10.47 seconds
CARSON, California (AP): Olympic champion Meseret Defar of Ethiopia broke the world record in the women's 2-mile run Sunday at the Adidas Track Classic.
Defar won in 9 minutes, 10.47 seconds, lowering the mark of 9:11.97 set by American Regina Jacobs in 1999.
The crowd at Home Depot Center roared as the 23-year-old runner cruised toward the finish line, leaving her rivals far behind. Defar grabbed the green, gold and red Ethiopian flag and jogged around the track, stopping to greet well-wishers.
Defar won a gold medal in the 5,000 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics and Sunday's effort was her fourth world mark.

I'm mildly positive that I could crawl to the refrigerator in 9 minutes, 10.47 seconds.
I'm pretty sure I could drive to the store & back for additional chocolate in 9 minutes, 10.47 seconds.
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you today and your home study visit :)
..and I'm pretty sure you wished your visit today lasted only 9 minutes and 10.47 seconds ;)
But how many blogs could you catch up on in 9 minutes, 10.47 seconds? Really, that's the measure I'm most interested in.
Little cabbage-shaped hole here at the Day home. We're eager for another visit.
Madame Firepants will be posing for belated Mother's Day photos this weekend (now that Elliott's face has recovered from his biking injury and he can join in the fun without scaring the grandmas)and she will be wearing her beautiful new dress for the event. chou-chou has exquisite taste!!
