I've been training for the past several weeks and I'm happy to announce I ran the mile in under 4 minutes
That is fantastic. Not easy to be sure. The mile run event was first started in England where they used it to gamble.
Haha. That may explain why I have an affliction for gambling. I usually run it in about 5 minutes, but last week something was different. I had more energy
They also use the mile run as an Army Physical Fitness Test. They are checking for muscular strength, endurance and such.
