It seems that my frequent goings-out to run around the moderately large property have turned out to have been very worthwhile. The PE teacher, despite the suddenly warm and humid weather, decided to have my gym class run the mile today; it's one of the five national standard fitness tests. The course was a grassy soccer field, with some odd detours to make it exactly a mile after running around the perimeter four times.
I was not expecting a time any better than 8 minutes. To my shock, when I came in after the fourth lap, my time was 5:51, almost 2 minutes faster than my best. Since school graduation requirements mandate that everyone is involved in a sport in high school, I suppose I'll join crosscountry.
