Miscellaneous: Today, I had to run a mile in gym class for fitness training....

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 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 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 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

Health is overrated

Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. 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 my first day of soccer tryouts. We began with a two mile run. Trying to be honest for once, I didn't lie about my time. Everyone else did. I thus got the worst score, and had to run it again. FML

Today, after the longest time, I went to the gym. I ran and ran and ran on the treadmill for an eternity, beating myself up for getting so overweight. Then I tripped and fell off, sweating and sobbing for being so useless. When I looked up, I saw I'd been on the machine for barely 2 minutes. FML

Today, on the way to an exam, I got hit by a car. I got back up and limped to class. The teacher wouldn’t let me in because I was 10 seconds late. FML

Seriously, 10 minutes? You should have been able to WALK a mile in less time than that.

i ran a mile in 6:15 when i was 11. i ran a 5:20 mile when i was 13. then i ran 2 miles in 11:07 when i was 15. AND i'm a girl. i don't understand people who refuse to acknowledge how out of shape they are until they are "tested".

My last mile time was a little over 10 minutes. I'm 15 too. :( I can't run, I hate it and I feel like I'm dying after running.

Are you saying that you're a track state champion? A 15 year old girl with an 11:07 2 mile is very impressive.

I'd try to get a protest going and have everyone walk as slow as they could tolerate. It's not the school's place to tell you how fast you should be.

Now I'm not saying you deserve it, nor am I saying your life sucks, but this should push you to have more motivation and have a greater speed when running. Doing it again isn't such a bad thing, don't think of it as a bad thing. Think of it as having a greater work out. You now know that you need to run 2 seconds faster. I've had to run 10km for a Terry Fox Run, which is 6.214 miles, I had to do that in 10 minutes since I was in Gym 30 we had to be pushed harder in order to gain better track skills. It sucks, but you'll get better. 2 seconds can make a huge difference in your running skills. Since my high school gym class, it's prepared me for marathons thanks to doing runs like that over and over again. You'll be more grateful when your finish your second round, even if you don't plan on doing anything major in regards to fitness after grade school.
