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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, I got to sports practice 30 seconds late and got kicked out for "poor time management". 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

if you're just running 1 mile it should be easy because you'll be done after that so it should motivate you to hurry up and run faster. if you're going to run like 2 or more miles at once then I can understand if you'd want to slow down and pace yourself.

the line has to be drawn firm somewhere I mean where would it stop 10:03 10:04 where?

I agree that 10 minutes is more than enough time for a regular person. However I can understand why it would be hard for others. and I don't mean the overweight. I've always been of normal weight, but I had the same issue in school, and now even. I almost failed PE because I couldn't even run an 11 minute mile. I was born with a rare form of asthma, a heart condition, rheumatoid arthritis in my knees, and flat feet. On the year of our final run, I was pushed so hard by my teacher that I collapsed on the final lap suffocating and hacking up blood, and was rushed to the ER. After that, the strict expectations for running in my school were drastically lowered. I don't have sympathy for the overweight and lazy, but if your reason for slowness is beyond your control, you need to inform your teacher and principal that you are literally physically unable to meet their expectations without endangering yourself. Sorry for the autobiography, but I feel it needs to be said that some of us are just not born to be Olympic runners. Despite all this though, I still run, and happily. I just pace myself safely. That's why speed is no real measurement of health; pacing oneself is the key.
