Should a fifty second guy be chewing out at least a 1:58 or sub 2:00? I'm slower than slow in sprinting, [I may have broken 12 seconds in 100 meters once], but 4:00 in a half? You can stop and take a piss and still beat that.
I've never broken 50 seconds in the quarter mile. Last time I ran the 400m I was 13 years old. My fastest, if I remember correctly, was in the high 50's.

I was jogging for the half mile. That wasn't a sprint.

We should lay down a wager. Me against Farrah in the half mile.

Remember, I'm not a total slouch. I play basketball 3 times a week.

As long as it's adjusted for gender, I say we make it a 1200. Remember if you win, you sleep on the couch.

My money is on Farrah.

She runs 6 miles on the treadmill like it's a walk in the park. I ran a half mile, and coughed up soot particles from Geneva.

I'm glad you all are backing off your claims that she would beat me in the half mile. I have successfully called your bluff.

I think the longest I have ever run was about 3 miles, when in ROTC. Now you know why I quit the ROTC.

You're on. But it has be very soon. I don't want you training to get ready for this thing. Today or tomorrow if possible. Plus you get to push the baby jogger if thats waht it comes down to. Thats the gender adjustment Archaea was asking for.

The stakes - If you win, I promise to stop trolling in the religion section for 1 week. If she wins, you promise to do the same.

Do you think we should bring her in on this little wager? She might have some ideas to make the wager a little more interesting.

Where did I make that claim?

3 miles? One word: PUSSY. And not the good kind.

Why is MW such a poor runner? I though he was pretty fit with not a lot of body weight to carry around? I am reasonably big guy and a couple months ago I ran a mile just to see what I could do and I still eeked out a sub 6:40 mile. Its hard to believe MW couldn't smoke me in a mile run given my size.

6:40? I'm impressed. You're fitter than tell people then.

Is this a typo? 6:40 is a smoking fast mile for someone who's big. It's plenty fast for people who aren't big.

Ya, that's the right time. I think it was 6:37. (oops, just checked it was 6:47 not 6:37)

Well, maybe my definition of big isn't the same as others. I'm 6' 1'' and about 215.
