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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 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 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
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, as I was finishing running a mile, my entire class begun to cheer me on. I felt happy since I don't have many friends. Only when I got closer did I realize that they were cheering for the girl behind me, and in fact, not one person was cheering for me. FML
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

Ouch, OP. I feel your pain, I've got asthma so I can't run long distances very easily. But come on, three laps? Were you crawling the whole time or was it just a super long run? Ps: nice username OP

Are your classmates Olympic-level runners or were you crawling, OP? I'm not a great runner myself but... three whole laps?

Could have been an indoor track. The ones I'm used to take 8 laps to equal a mile. So, he would of been at lap 5, as they were finishing lap 8. That said, I would of told the teacher to piss off and let you finish if you had the ambition to do so.

Wow... that takes talent. If you're going to fail, fail hard I guess, I'm only kidding. I'm terrible at running too, and usually get lapped at least once, but I do have to run to keep my job so I push through it. Work hard, dedicate yourself, you'll make it OP.

#27 How does being a slow runner have anything to do with intelligence? In that case, you must run really fast...

Yeah seriously...just because it takes them a long time to run a mile doesn't mean they're dumb, it means that it takes them a long time to run a mile!

Well i think he means that because the op is unhealthy, assuming because he can't run this mile, ( and i don't mean fat unhealthy) and this causes him to fail mentally. You see when someone is physically fit they are able to pump more blood faster throughout their body in order to accommodate for all the exertion on the body, well if he was fit then he would have more oxygen for his brain and then the op would have better cognitive skills.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant....
