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

10 minutes for a mile seriously means you were walking for most of it and probably taking breaks. At average walking speed for someone your age, a mile takes 15 minutes. You couldn't be bothered to increase your speed from 4 mph to 5 mph - an increase of speed of only 25%? Then you totally deserve to fail that.

Excuse me, my math was wrong: you need to increase your speed to 6mph. Still, that's only an increase of 50%.

I don't understand why people are saying "Stop being lazy, try harder" OP was only 2 seconds off. Sorry, op.

Because 10 minutes it's already a very high time. People can walk a mile in 20 minutes or even less.

How did I get a thumbs down? I worked incredibly hard for years to be able to run that time.

you only have to do a mile? I have to do 4k (almost 2.5 miles) :(

Back in High School I was an Ice Hockey player I played defense and it required a lot of quick sprints, I was one of the fastest on the ice - However, I struggled with a 1 mile run, even though I was fast, because it was completely different - Sustained speed instead of quick springs. Now, 8 years later I teach karate which requires a lot of cardio, endurance and discipline. I can run a 5:30 mile if I really want to and teeter at just about 23:00 doing a 5k at a steady pace.
