Open Question: My fastest mile was 11:59. Is that really REALLY bad?

8 September 2010, 6:57 pm

i'm only in 8th grade but i'm afraid that i'm running way to slow. most girls in my grade can run a 8:00 or 9:00 mile. some even run 16:00 miles. i don't consider myself very fit. i do now play any sports or do excess exercise. i do run a mile every other day (for my p.e. class) i am also anorexic thin and very very short. i think the problem is my school does not have a gym. we run on a gravel/rocky/dusty track outside of our school. it is a big oval and you have to go around it 4 times to complete 1 mile. we also have a big field in the middle of the track so if the grass is watered, it can get very humid. it often gets very hot in the summer too (remember we are OUTSIDE) please give me some tips on getting a better time! thanks to everyone who answered ^_^...
