re: How fast can you run a mile?

Used to run 3 miles in a little over 19 minutes when I was active.

Have you ever done timed unit runs? We used to have to do 4 miles in 36 minutes (in formation). That's not fast at all, but if one shitbag falls out (and there is usually several), the whole unit has to double back and pick him up over and over again because everyone has to finish or everyone fails. So you're really running way more than four miles. It's one of those things people laugh at until they do it.

Some guy kept some ordanace or something when he got out. I was thinking it was you, my mistake.

I'm going on record to state that definitely wasn't me.

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5lbs weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck..
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5lbs as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10lbs program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me".
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10lbs as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25 lbs program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program." "Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you are mine."
He lost 33 lbs that week.

7:23, for 5k

Without stopping?

Right now?


4:55. But I got caught up in the sandwich craze

Ran a 4:08 1500 in college which converts to like a 4:25 or so.

Went 4:53 a couple months ago at a local all comers meet.
