haha I ran a 6:55 last year at the one track event I did... finishing (surprisingly) second-to-last and not dead last as I'd thought... that was my first year doing it. I'd originally planned to do tennis but bc of bullsh-t schedule conflicts I couldn't.

Someone should figure out how many reps on what scale pattern it takes to "run" a mile on a piano keyboard, to do scale or arpeggio runs that add up to a mile of physical keyboard length.

In high school I ran 6 minute miles, and the real athletes laughed.

Now in my 60s I am officially an 11 minute miler, and I'm happy I can do that.

*Bob is wondering how to get faster at running a mile, while also being able to run longer.*

15min for a mile is 4mph.  You can walk 4mph.  Haha... You know what else goes 4mph?



Ugh... *Bob looks up 'old man on rascal.'*   :P


2/3 mile in 6:18 is.... a little over 6mph.  That's running/jogging.  9:34 to run a mile at that rate.

While some see it as a way to connect with cultural heritage, others pursue it as a path to fame and fortune. In the movie “Piano Dreams” director Gary Lennon documents the struggles and sacrifices of three wannabe piano stars in modern China. Read more
