Just curious.. Jogging 1/2 mile..

A full mile for me is around 10.5 minutes, so half mile would be a little over 5 minutes.

Okay I am just curious to see how fast somebody else has jogged a half mile!! I am not a fan of jogging/running and I have never been able to jog for that long straight so be kind.. Today I wanted to test myself and see how hard I could push myself and to my surprise I jogged a half mile without stopping in 7 mins 22 sec. I know that it isn't the best but for me it is pretty good!

Totally cool!

You are ahead of me when I started!

I can do a mile, now, in about 6 minutes. My pace for my 4 mile run is now down to 11+ minutes per mile.

That's so awesome! Running is an addicting and fun journey - I ran cross country and track all through high school, pretty much abandoned all exercise in college, and now have gotten back into the long-distance world. My avg half-marathon pace is 9min/mile (so 4:30/800m) - I've started throwing in more speed work into my training, so now I run intervals about once a week where I'm averaging about 3:50/800m. However, if you told me to go bust out my fastest 1/2 mile time, I could probably do it in close to 3:00min - and then I'd die ;-)
Back in HS I could do 6x800m and hold 3:00 for each one. Ah, those were the days....

If I'm doing a track workout, right around 3:00 per 800m.
Fastest I've ever ran 1/2 mile is 2:05

Last weekend, I got caught in the rain. I did .57 miles in 4:22, so that would be about 3:50 for a half mile.

Your time is great for just starting out!
