    took me 18 minutes about 3 weeks ago on the treadmill. I'm down to 13 minutes now.

    I figured thats not bad seeing how im about 35 pounds over weight for my height.

    I know most people will say they run it about 5-8 minutes. thats my goal but right now im not able to run for a whole mile im having to walk about 30% of it to catch my breath. If i can get down to 155 pounds I should be able to light it up.

    My PB in the Mile was 5:53 in the 7th grade

    Right now, I would probably run it in 7-8 minutes

    Not sure. I stick to 100m sprints. The rest is too far...i'll drive if I'm going that far.

    Clocked a 6:45 mile last week, which is the best I've had in a bit. But was more happy with a 18:42 three miles I recorded about three days later. I don't really understand how my pace improved, but I'll take it. Probably a PR for me, because I'm too heavy to be a decent sprinter.

    That sounds like you run a Sub 20 5K which is really good Kami! I have ran a few 19:30 5K's, but I about died afterwards. I am the reverse, my pace slows down. First mile about 6, second 630, third 7. In a lot of 5k's I lead the first mile...lol. GOt to learn to sustain it, but like you am a little to heavy to every be elite in the 17 or faster.

    Back at the height of my fine-ness, I ran a 5:27 on a treadmill, and that was only 1 mile. Heck, I'm not a Kenyan! Today it would probably take me about 10 minutes, but I'm getting back to running so I can go nearly naked again.
