50%, is that a passing grade?

With three days left before the 10k on Sunday, I felt a 5 mile run today and tomorrow would make sense, taking Saturday off. Some gnarly Achilles tendon pain has kept my runs shorter lately, but I felt good today, averaging 8.5 minute miles for a total of 42.5 minutes. I jumped on a site that calculates Age Graded Scores, and it turns out that was just over 50%. Basically, it takes me twice as long to run 5 miles as the world reigning champion, which is fine with me. For now.
