That's super fast! We had to run a mile every week in high school and I was the fastest for a while, at about a 7:45 mile pace! So I am definitely faster than I was then, but I haven't done a one mile "sprint" yet; it would be fun to try it!

Becoming a runner later in life has made me realize how LAZY I was in high school :).

I ran for fun in high school and stress relief. So no organized stuff. I do know I am faster now though.

Wahoooooo... I would never have run a mile in high school, I am sure!

You are seriously fast! Your cows are seriously the worst cheerleaders ever. ;-)
I would have so given you some cow bell!

2013-04-24T14:58:20.578-06:00

I don't remember my time in high school either, but I want to say it was like 14 minutes..so even though I'm still super slow, I'd say I could do one miler under 10 minutes now. I'm not sure I ever "ran" an entire mile until a few years ago. Even in school I walked part of the mile. I was just never a runner.

Nice job!

I don't remember my best mile time from HS, but I know that I am way faster now.

2013-04-24T14:15:33.840-06:00

Awesome speedy pace!
No idea what my times were in high school as it was so long ago! I do know that I never ran the distance I can now, and I liked the cross-country - probably because I was a farm girl and felt right at home hurdling gates and traversing mud.
Cows are funny - whenever I used to run along the road next to our cow paddock the whole herd would run after me along the fenceline, which was kind of embarrassing!

Nice mile!! I never had a timed mile in school... ever! you're pretty speedy! :)

2013-04-24T11:01:42.978-06:00

Well done!!! My niece (23) has just started seriously running. She ran a 22.5 5K (sheesh) and puked at the end. My sister was all up in arms that this was a major problem. Had to tell her that, no, running till you puke is just a sign that her daughter was an awesome rock star who wasn't afraid to give it all she had.

2013-04-24T10:15:26.671-06:00

I peaked in Grade School my 5th grade year with about a 9:05 mile, the only time in my life I ever remember running the entire thing. Now it's funny to think i just ran a half marathon sub that pace per mile!!

Wow, speedy! I don't think I ever tried to run...

2013-04-24T09:55:12.355-06:00

Wow, speedy! I don't think I ever tried to run a fast mile in high school--all my running was about keeping weight off and it was slow. I'm hoping to do a mile race this summer to see what I can do on that front. The potential-puking stuff doesn't sound fun, though. :^)

Speedy speedy speedy!!!

2013-04-24T08:58:05.042-06:00

I ran an 8:43 the other day and thought I wanted to puke at that. Wonder what would happen if I got to 6:16? HAHAHA, peeing my pants would I'm sure be included. I say you win this contest!

2013-04-24T08:13:32.545-06:00

Way to go, speedster! Amazing time. I am definitely faster than high school but I wasn't athletic at all and walked the gym class mile.

2013-04-24T08:13:04.098-06:00

I know i'm faster than high school, but that wouldn't be terribly hard I wasn't a runner then. I did sports but HATED running :)

2013-04-24T06:25:14.586-06:00

Yes! My best mile was 6:24 in high school gym class (pretty crazy that I remember that from so long ago), but I think I've lost a lot of speed since I was a sprinter. This does make me curious, though!

2013-04-24T06:21:30.721-06:00

I knew you were fast but...dang...you are FAST! Awesome job! I love your description of the cows eating, not even giving you a second glance...hah! Once my knee feels better, I'm going to try this challenge...I'll admit, I'm curious now!
