My back was giving me some trouble when i started running, so I wasn't able to go as fast as I liked at first, but I tried to make up for it a bit later on in the lap. It did throw my pacing off though. I may do this every couple of weeks just to see where I'm at. Since I surpassed my goal of 6 mins or less, I'm aiming for 5:30 next. Bump. Holy cow, that's amazing! My best time is 6:27.I do some table tennis, which I'm fairly good at, and some tennis, which I suck at. I also do marching band, and used to run, but I had to drop it to accomodate band. I also do Tae Kwon Do (black belt, 2nd degree), and am a mathlete

I once played soccer (I was never good at it, though). I did swimming when I was younger because the elementary school had everybody swim on Friday's. I was never allowed to do Track or Cross Country (or any other sports after elementary school-- my parents always said "no"). However, two years ago in a phys-ed course for cross training, I brought my mile time down to 2 miles in just under 10 minutes. Let's just say that I am very tall with very long legs ^^ Now I cannot even run a mile without tiring out
I thought I might as well revive this topic since we have been discussing sports on IRC. I'm a swimmer and I used to run, but I don't compete or run much anymore.Now for the bragging part(Though I'm not sure how good some of these are) 100 breaststroke 1:22.71100 freestyle about 1:0850 freestyle 0:29.0050 breaststroke 0:35.97100 backstroke about 1:37 I'm not great at it. I hate backMy coach says I could take 6 seconds off my breast time by fixing my turns and working a little on my stroke. I also could do with a little more stamina to take that 100 free time down.
Another swimmer here! I'm retired now (not swimming actively right now, and probably won't because college is D1 and varsity is too good) but some of my times are were100 free: 52.950 free: 23.9100 fly: 56.8100 back: 1:01.4200 fly: 2:05.6200 IM: 2:09400 IM: 4:39100 breast: 1:14Hey, you're pretty good at breaststroke :O no seriously, relative to your other times 1:22 and :35 is really good. i bet if you worked hard on it you could get really good. (I never was a great breastroker )
