19 at Basic Training I was 5’10” and weighed 127lb. Was running 1.5 miles in 9 minutes. Don’t want to think about where I’m at now.

Dang! That’s still under 6 minutes each mile! Pretty incredible especially post high school!

Well the marines teach you the perfect technique for running 3 miles.

You start by smoking a cig, make sure you’re not hung over, you want to still have you buzz from the night at tobies. Then when you start, sprint to the lead to exert your dominance. Then you sprint until you’re too tired, call yourself a b***ch and sprint again, repeat for 3 miles. Collapse, call for doc, he’ll have your smokes or dip ready, then if that doesn’t work, he’ll wink at you and mention something about a silver bullet…

In high school I think my cc 5k was around 16:30ish. First mile split was always sub 5min

Nice! Did you go to State on that time? That would’ve taken the lead on our CC team for sure.

Morning everyone, I'm back trying to catch up. My dad passed a couple weeks ago and required around the clock care for about the month prior. GPT hasn't been on the priority list. Things are getting better and that's as good as can be expected.

My condolences on your loss and prayers for you and your family. We went through something similar last year with my wife’s dad. May God’s peace be over you and your family.

Will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

I was never a sprinter but could chew up the miles at a steady pace. The last half marathon I ran was in 2014 (age 58 just before I ****** up my spinal cord) in 1 hr, 45 mins or just under 8 min miles. I probably weighed about 180 at the time. My morning runs were usually 4 miles and I could do close to 7 min miles. Miss those days.

@Trigger Time I found this on GB, not sure exactly what you have but may give you a starting point? Most of the completed sales seemed to be in this ballpark.

And GM all! Happy St. Patty’s day. Whoever shows up for dinner can have all the green beer they can drink on me.

My sympathies, sir.

Condolences for your loss WR. My father pass away 22 years ago and I keep his picture behind my bar and still have many (one sided) conversations with him while sipping bourbon. I hope some day when we meet again to find out that he was there with me during those chats.

My best 2 mile sprint time today would be impacted by how fast I can start my truck
