I knew I was in relatively poor shape, fitness-wise, but never realized it was this bad.  The other night I jumped on the treadmill for a run.  I was alarmed to learn after reviewing my stats that I had just ran my first twelve minute mile.  Back when I was in high school (we’ll call that the old days) I ran a sub six minute mile.

 I took another stab at it tonight.  This time it was better, if only a little.  I ran a 9:22 mile.  My time was better, but it felt like knives were being inserted into my lungs.  I’m going to see if I can improve on this little by little until I get to a reasonable time/speed.  I hope that after few attempts, my cardio respiratory stamina will improve and allow me to pick up the pace.
