Dr. Sacrebleu Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So I just started running three days ago for the first time ever. I mean, I run, and do sports once in a blue moon, but I am vacationing on a small island, and there was a sign up for a 5k race. Decided, what the hey, and signed up. So this morning I ran two miles and timed myself at 17 minutes and 17 seconds. Not going all out but not just jogging either. my brother in law pointed out that GW bush runs sub 7 minute miles. So I looked it up, because the idea that bush could run faster than me at the age of 56 irked me. And indeed he runs 3 miles in just under 21 minutes (allegedly). Which is impressive and is my new goal. I give myself one month The article pointed out that he also had run some marathons, and posted times of famous people. GW ran a marathon in 3h44. Which is impressive. Who knew that he got smoked by Johnathan Edwards, and Dukakis Who have run almost 15 minutes faster than him. weird. Of course Bjorn Ulvaeus of Abba fame smokes them all at 3 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
