For some context, I grew up in Louisiana. The school system there is horrible, including PE. It was really just ball games and a lot of running for punishment.
When I was 12 I moved to the North, and it was a lot more physical. We did miles every week, and the last recorded mile time I remember in middle school is over 16 minutes. I never found out the exact time because usually when I was on my third lap, the class would go inside to change back into school clothes.
Anyways last June I decided I wanted to lose weight. Since June 2020 my mile time has been roughly 22 minutes.
I’ve had a lot of ups and downs with losing weight, but I think I’m finally back on track. Today I went to my middle school track to do a mile for the first time since June 2021. It was still about 22 minutes from last time.
So I just go for it, sprinting at some points, jogging at others, walking for a good bit. I was so determined to get under 20 minutes, and I did notice I ran a lot more than I usually do.
After my fourth lap I check my time, and it was 18 minutes and 26 seconds. I know in general, that’s a pretty bad mile time. But having my mile time be 22 minutes to 18? That’s an improvement for me.
