    The last time I ran I could do 3 miles in 21 mins. but I had done much better in a mile run but I gave up running years ago. Running is too hard on the joints so I cycle now.

    At least since I got out of college, I generally only run if I'm in front of a bear or behind an ice cream truck.

    I stick to the rowing machine or the bike. Running bores the heck out of me.

    In college I could run a little under a 7 and a half minute mile, the one time a year when I did actually run.

    A rowing machine isn't boring at all for me, but that's because I've done it competitively before and know a bunch of different competitive workouts that I can do. It also helps that I had to keep track of my progress on it for several years, so I really know what I can do, which makes it easier to push myself. At least on a stationary bike I can still watch tv while working hard. I mostly do that as a cool down after rowing. I can't do that on most machines because of the movement.

    PR's in high school were a 4:29 mile, a 1:56 half and a 0:49 quarter.

    I was running marathons and 1/2 marathons recently until I stress fractured by right foot for the second time in 6 months. I suck at the marathon (3hr 38min pr)- I always get mega cramps during the last 3 or 4 miles- you know like that guy on the gatorade commercial.

    And I agree with DW that Asics make the best running shoes.

    Riverman, nothing wrong with that PR. I did my first Mary this year and it was 3:40. However, I plan on breaking 3:10 in the next 3 years. I wanna go to Boston. That Mile time is very impressive. I have never been that fast.

    I listen to Podcast and audiobooks when I run. They work like magic.
