Today, my dad said that if I walked home from school, a distance of 8 miles, he would give me $50. Two hours and four massive blisters later, I come home. When I asked for my money, he said "I was kidding." FML

15 min per mile

distance=rate x time
8 miles/2 hours = 4 miles per hour
average walking speed = 3-3.5 mph, which is LESS than 4 mph

So OP was actually walking FASTER than average. At 3 mph, 8 miles would take about 2 hours 40 min.

That must be the average walking speed of Americans. It's fucking slow!

262 he could of jogged some of the way. I mean this dude is lazy if he just walked there. anyway it's still winter so that might of warmed him up. I'm proud to be an American foreign dude, just don't compare me with the op or 262.

If the OP was coming home from school it probably means they were carrying a backpack and possibly some other things. They probably didn't want to run because that's usually a lot of weight to jog with if you aren't used to it.
I don't know what it's like in the OP's area but where I live it's actually been pretty warm the last couple of weeks. We did have a couple of snow showers but nothing major so spring is definitely here.

You and all of those people train to get on the football team and to be able to run around in all that equipment. I specifically said "if you aren't used to it. " therefore your point is moot.
