I thought I'd bump this with an update. Two days ago I decided to time my run. I did my usual 2.5 miles. The total time was 20:10. This ends up being an average of 4:02 per lap (it's a half mile track) or 8:04 per mile. Yesterday I upped my pace a bit and ran 2.5 miles in 19:10. This cut of 12 seconds per lap average or 24 seconds per mile. Average lap time comes to 3:50, or 7:40 per mile. With these numbers I'm certain I could blow my old mile time of 7:20 out of the water. :) I'm going to give it a try today if it doesn't rain. I'm aiming for about 6 mins, but we'll see how it goes. :)

I think my best mile time was 6:12 or so.  But now it would probably be like 6:30 or 40 due to a few weeks of not constantly running :P

i'm a swimmer/runner. I'm not in high school yet and since I just transfered to the school I'm in I can't join athletics. I hope to be able to compete with my school in high school. I used to swim competitively and i have a few good/bad memories from that.

Another swimmer :D

*Update* Well I got around to doing a benchmark for my mile this past Thursday. I managed to complete a mile in 5:57. Hooray! 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 do karate しょーだんーほ, track (5:28 mile) , pole-vault, tennis, chess (it's a sport), Cross country, academic team (sport?).

Is Tae Kwon Do fun?  It is an offensive martial arts correct?

Yeah, I do enjoy it. My sister takes karate, and they seem rather similar.

^ did you really ? I play bassoon and am very aware of how impractical it is to try and march such a beast.

That deserves a +1 for playing bassoon and calling it a beast :D

Love them.  I made a hand rest (wood) , instead of paying $15, so I made it loop a little so i could hold it up easier.  Had a neck strap, but it made it too hard to breath.
