Hell, I haven't run any less than 4 miles at a time in years (usually 4-7).  The last time I ran the shorter distances was in high school (which was in the 80's ;) )  Fastest mile was 5:10...2 mile, don't remember.  I probably "shouldn't" run on a knee that's been hyper-extended 3 times (once it was sat on..unsupported)....but hey, what are you gonna do? :crazy:

Your run times are moving though...

yeah...needless to say, only one person in that class had an A and he was in track. IIRC, I was at 5:40 with half of the rest of the class.

25 at the age of 18,... yeah I am a little girly man. Maybe I should hit up the gym now that I have a desk job all day. Fastest I ran the mile in was around 13:00. I walked the whole ed thing and I got a "A" in that class.

Same here. I never ran the mile but walked in about 13 minutes. Who runs in a class where your going to get an "A" as long as you do some kind of movement?
 Pushups. . . haven't really done any since high school and that was the required 10 for our warmup time. That was really difficult :hick:
