I ran 1.5 miles in 11:02 today

[MichaelD]

Yesh. I am proud of me. :thumbsup: I ran 1.5 miles (on a track, not a treadmill) in 11:02 today. Timed by dude with a stopwatch, not me. A personal best.

Of course, the 21-and-under-set will say "I run two miles in eight minutes!" And I will say "Let me know how you do 15 years from now.

That is all.

 

[Schadenfroh]

:thumbsup:, i could not even do that when i was 14

(in better shape at now)

 

[boyRacer]

i thought you were older than that

 

[KeyserSoze]

Good job!

I just started running again. (Ex-Smoker here, and 24)...and well, I won't tell you how long it took me to run .8 of a mile

1.5 in 11 is really good! i wish i could do that (and i'm only 23)

 

[xXped0thugXx]

edit:spelling error

Thanks guys!!! I'll admit; it freakin' killed me. Well, not LITERALLY, but you get the idea.

About six months ago, I lost 29 pounds. I gained back 19 of it. :| But that's b/c now I'm in my own place again and cooking...and watching movies...and cooking....and of course, the Body By Budweiser always rears it's ugly head.

At least I'm in the gym 3-4 days a week. Workin' it!!!

 

[Bryophyte]

Not bad, you old goat.

 

[nick1985]

I could not run three miles...not today...I could run/jog, but not haul ass. Six months ago, yeah, I could sprint it pretty much, but not today. The weight comes back FAST when you get older.

 

[tfinch2]

not bad at all. i can run a mile in about 5:30 but after a mile i am DEAD. no stamina...

 

[Jgtdragon]

Wow, 6 laps.
I can't do that now. My best time ever for a mile is 6:58.

 

[zbalat]

Nice time for an old fart. I'm 36 too and I'm a bit faster than you but I have been running for years.

11:02 for 1.5 miles is a time 95% of people our age could never attain. Nice work and keep it up.

Wow that is good, at school the Phys ed teacher all mandated we run a mile in 7 minutes (however after she saw most failed, she gave up). I run about a mile in 10 minutes which is pretty bad.

Heh, in our PE class we had to run it in under 8 minutes. I made it in 7 mins 54 secs..there were a few who were well over 9 minutes.

Thanks very much!!! It gets really difficult to keep up with the young guys and the marathon runners.

I work with a guy who is 47. He does the 1.5 miles in a little over 10 minutes. He hauls serious ass...and barely breaks a sweat doing it!!! :Q He also weighs about 1/2 what I do!!!

i bet before i had surgery i could run about a 7-7:30 mile and a half....ahh those were the days...

Thats really good, most people if you pull them off randomly off the street, cant even do a 10 minute mile.

Not bad 11 hours and 2 minutes is a worthy time!

 

[CraigRT]

Sounds good from what I've read so far

I am not a runner, it's not good for your knees, but I am however fast on a bike

Bahahah!! Nice.





Thanks for the kind words, guys.

 

[Albis]

the funny thing is at that pace of 11 minutes for 1.5 miles, you could beat some of the high school cross country team. the freshman and junior varisty guys. congrats on the speed!

 

[xSkyDrAx]

That's pretty good, keep it up, you'll get faster. I've seen senior citizens run in long distances race and they're really fast. I'm on the verge of running 3 in under 20...only 200 meters short. Hopefully that'll change today.
