I ran the San Francisco (Half) Marathon a few weeks ago. Finished in 02:02'50". Kind of a slow pace, but I only trained for 4 weeks so I was amazed that I could even finish- plus kick 6000 people's asses who I finished ahead of...

I got stress fractures in both legs due to running retarded distances against my will for 6 years straight.

No thanks.

Why against your will?

Sounds like the military.

If I wouldn't pass out after the second lap at that pace. I'm a one and done kind of guy. 6:05 was my fastest mile.

My best mile is 6:31, it's too bad my legs are so short. I'm thinking about doing track in HS but idk, it's a lot of work. In other news Usain Bolts breaks his own record for the 100 meter.

I do cross country too, but I have no idea how fast/well I do with that.

Don't you live in Canada? Try having to play sports against black people...

Sad, but true. It does raise the bar a bit.
