Brandon Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 FYI, IM NOT BRAGGING, JUST EXTREMELY HAPPY Since the day of confrence 7th grade when i ran a 5:35, ive been wanting to go sub 5. in 8th grade, that didnt happen with a 5:22. But my last meet (post confrence) my freshman year, coach put me just in the mile instead of his origional 2mile/mile double. I did it, went out in 2:25, came back in 2:32 for a total of 4:57.7! FYI mile - 1600m on track (actually 1609m) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/321777-sub-5-mile/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipppetto Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Congrats ! Hope you break 4:00 before you graduate from college. When I was a somewhat serious runner (25 yrs. ago) I could run 2:08 for 800s and 4:22 for 1500s (metric mile) - that roughly translates to about 4:55. I know what kind of hard work and commitment it takes to run faster !

Ayepecks Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Congratulations! :) Something similar happened to me: I recently ran a 49.93 400m (without competition... literally, alone) -- something I've been trying to do since I started running, too.

Ayepecks Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 ^^ wow major congrats.. thats state qual right? 585948416[/snapback] Heh, sadly I ran it about 2 or 3 weeks after regionals (before state). There is no "qualifying" times in Texas, just being the first two in your region (and division).
