This one time in 9th grade, I ran the mile in gym class. I finished around 7:45, but right as I got to my teacher he got a phone call. After a good minute or two of conversation he hung up, checked his watch, and politely gave me around a 9:30. I walked away with my head held high, and then charged the paint, threw some bows, and took names in basketball.

As a single mile, that's ok - but you want to build on it.  Fast single mile times are 5 mins... pretty rapid....    

Look towards a 5k, 10k time...  a fairly good 10k time is anything less then <50min, and really good 10k time is <40 min....    etc etc...

the last time i ran on the clock was sophomore year (i'm going to be a senior) after having mcdonald's for lunch...

our health class all did the cooper test (to see how far you can run in 12 minutes), and i ran 3600 meters (how our track is measured) which is just over 2 miles

never ran a mile, but we had to run 2400m in my last year @ highschool
i got it in 9 minutes 7 seconds... (lets say 9minutes)
since a mile = (+-) 1600m

some fancy calculating...

9min * (1600m/2400m) = 6minutes ....

so definately under 6 minutes ....

I could break 7 min in 3rd grade. In high school I think I broke 6 by a couple second once. Now I think I'd be happy with 8. I just never got fast. And now I just don't run

To each their own, if you don't like running then don't post in a thread about running. Unless you really wanted each of us to answer you why we like to run the mile. Which everybody knows you didn't.

I don't know man, a perfect weekend for me includes waking up early sunday morning, meeting some guys out front of my dorm and heading out for an 18 mile long run on beautiful trails just shooting the shit, you know? Talking about life. Returning to a dead campus, and hitting the dining hall before anybody else is awake.
