Thank you! It was a wonderful way to start the day. Took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to run.
Good time for over 10 miles, I would think.
This assessment is just going off of the one time I actually had to run a full one mile as part of the criteria for general P.E. class in my first semester of college, in which I remember the teacher clocking me in at just over 10 minutes (where I was running or at least jogging a good 3/4 of the time) and saying "very good try, young man" as I passed him at the finish line. Like, that was all we had to do that day for the class - doing the mile run as fast or slow as we preferred, just so long as we did a full mile - and then we were free to go. By instinct as college students of course, since it was early in the morning most of us just wanted to get it overwith as soon as we could so that we could go back to our dorms or - in my particular case - to their rent home down the street and get back to sleep, so that's what I tried to do, just running for as long as I could before getting winded, having never done anything
this strenuous before (never did sports in high school or before).
Ah, hard to believe that my first semester of college was actually the halfway point of my life by now. ... But ... still not old! ^-^ (And you aren't either, mind you, Miss Sampa. You have a zesty, youthful way about you in everything you tell us about with your life outside of this community. Really.
) Good days, they were. That track where the P.E. teacher had us do that mile run is just down the road from me, actually. Since I live here where I went to college, again, after so long.
It was Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, for those of you who may not know yet or have forgotten where I mentioned it before. ^-^
