It depends entirely upon what's chasing me.

Run?  A mile?  Why on Earth would anyone want to do that? 

 
 

Back 10-11 years ago when I ran about 7-10 miles about 4 days a week my best was only a pitiful 9:45 for a mile.  I was not built for speed.

Though at the same time I was riding my bike 200-300 miles a week and could hold a speed of 17-18 MPH on level ground.

Today with my knee I would be hard put to walk a mile.

Well, that 6:30 was me... in the army... Fort Bragg (the installation with the toughest physical training standards of ANY Army post)... age 27.  I'm 41 now and I'd probably die if I tried to sprint a mile.

Man, everyone who's listed a time here makes me feel so slooooow. I guess it's because I've never sprinted a mile. I've only done long-distance, and just divided the total time by miles.

I wonder what my time would be if I just ran one as fast as I could...
 
Speaking of running...I've started back at it, but the black ice in this neighborhood is SO annoying. I don't like to have to hold a "caution" stance when I run, never knowing what I'll be slipping on.....

"Freebie" list?  I hope that's not what I think it is, young lady . . .

Never could beat 6:30.  I don't think I could come anywhere close to it these days... probably because I don't think I could run one anymore.

I do know a LOT of men who look better in their 40s/50s/60s than when they were younger.

Hopefully back to runningr for me in the new year (I do a sort of animated plod) as I want to do a short distance triathlon in the late spring. It's a 20k cycle, 5k run and 750m swim.

A lot of men (in my humble opinion) are getting better with age.....compared to photos of when they were in their 20s/30s.....amazing.

Oy.  Why are all the men on my "freebie" list getting so old?
