Miscellaneous: Today, I ran the mile in gym class. I was the second to last...

Today, I ran the mile in gym class. I was the second to last person to finish, and I was left panting and feeling faint. When the teacher found out I hadn't come in dead last, he accused me of skipping a lap and is now making me rerun the entire thing. FML

Today, I ran a mile for my gym class. While I managed to cut two minutes off my time, a few minutes later I felt dizzy and nauseous, which I thought was because I pushed myself too hard. I collapsed and vomited in front of everyone. Not a single person moved to help me. Not even the teacher. FML

Today, I had to run a timed mile. I'm terrible at running. During the run, I thought I was doing a good job. That is, until the teacher told me to stop because I was three laps behind everyone else. FML

Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML

Today, I had to run a mile in gym class for fitness training. If it takes longer than 10 minutes to run the stretch, you have to re-take it. My time was 10:02. FML

Today, I had to rush to school to avoid being late. Unfortunately, I forgot to put a bra on beforehand, and as soon as I got to gym class, the first thing my teacher said was: "Okay folks, let's get outside, we're running the mile." FML

Today, I did a sprint in gym class. Despite being the skinniest in the class, I ran slower than everyone else, including two morbidly obese people. FML

School sucks

By I didn't let them down - 03/04/2024 17:00 - United States

Today, my PE teacher was yelling at me because I got exhausted too quickly. As we neared the end of the exercise, he declared, "I will let y'all go early if [my name] doesn't give up halfway through this part." With all of the pressure on me, I forced myself to keep going. Then I promptly collapsed. FML

The sweet sighs of disappointment

By ThatGuyWhoRolled - 05/01/2023 14:00 - United Kingdom - Cambridge

Today, I was up against two others in a 120m race on my school's sports day. Unexpectedly, I heard my name being chanted from most of the classes watching and well, this made me want to win so much that I leaned forward too much whilst running and ended up tripping and rolling on the track. I heard loud sighs after. FML

Today, I had a note to skip P.E. that my grandpa had written because my mom was busy. His handwriting is terrible, so they didn't believe that he'd written it. I'd twisted my ankle and I got to run another mile for "lying". FML

Today, I was running the 100m sprint in a track meet. Me and another girl were tied for dead last. When we finished, she complained, "It's so embarrassing how slow I am today. I have shin splints. What happened to you?" I was actually running my hardest. FML

The word "no" is appropriate and applicable in this situation.

I hated running the mile, lol. I was always one if the last few as well. Sorry about your teacher. I wouldn't redo it though. Just tell him no...

I guess that biblical suggestion to "go the extra mile" doesn't apply literally. Religion baffles me.

When I was younger, in P.E. (physical education), we did a fitness test twice a year, and it lasted a week each time. When we had to do the mile run, the coaches would hold out Popsicle sticks for you to grab for each lap. And to ensure that you didn't cheat, the sticks were randomly numbered and colored.

We had an old drill sergeant, he ran/walked at the back of the pack and heckled/encouraged forward motion. But it was also 1 mile around the perimeter of the school compound, so only one lap to count.

Well, when I was a young lass, we had fitness tests everyday. Only the first to finish the mile got lunch that day. There could be only one! If we were caught cheating, the teacher would deliver a few sharp whacks with a yardstick.
