9:09 Pace?

In order to finish the mini-marathon in 2 hrs, I have to run at least a 9:09 mile. Earlier in the year, I was running 8:30 pretty easily. Eventually, I was having too much pain and had to back off. With the Tylenol I got for free, I should be able to endure a little faster pace after I get warmed up. There's plenty of recovery time later when I am sitting in the theater watching Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't go to see many movies these days, but since I saw the PBS version, I need to see what they have done with the story now. Hopefully, I won't be in too much discomfort to understand the reality that "42" is the answer.
