Well I can walk a mile in 15 minutes (have time it before), but I'm a really fast walker lol I don't run though, not even for buses so no idea how long it would take to run it.

Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

I used to be able to do a timed mile in 4 mins 26 secs and used to do well in races at county level. At 10 miles in my 30s I could manage 56 mins on a good day.

I was a maniac. I used to do up to 20 miles a session in training and up to 80 miles a week.

Best I did was 6:17 in 5th grade or so. I haven't run a timed mile since.

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

Yep. Hate running. Absofuckinglutely hate it. Best part is what you see when doing it. Or the time you do it. Apart from that it sucks

If any one can answer this:
Why do we need to run for charities? People can just give their money right

It's a real sacrifice. Anyone can give a bit of dollar but you have to challenge yourself and if you dont win the challenge, you'll be letting some poor people down. It has that effect of making you a bit stronger.

True in many cases but not all.
