4:15

Well, we have a nice group of runners forming here. People are training for the upcoming race in Philly. So last weekend when I noticed some other Whartonites who do not usually run with us, I started telling them about this group.

Having done a marathon and a couple of halfs, I am always keen to know about other folks who might be training for similar events and with whom I could find synergy for regular training. So I inquired - "I run 10 minute a mile, how about you guys?". My jaw dropped when one of them humbly replied, I am not so much into long distance running but I used to do shorter runs before. My best was 4:15 a mile.

4:15 a mile!

And here I am dreaming of someday running a 6 minute mile.
