I am so excited, I set a goal in mid 2012 after I had been running for about 3-4 months to break 7 minutes for a mile and I ran 7:05.. after realizing I was going to shatter 7 I set a huge lofty goal to break 6:00 by 2013.. Well I ran a time trial on 12-30-2012 and even though I didn't break 6:00, I ran 6:01.4! So excited that it won't be long before I am in the 5's!!! I never ever dreamed of running a 5:50 mile. I love how good of shape I'm in.. I hope it motivates you all to want to run and run fast at that!

My Previous mile PR was 6:32 from October

    Under 6 is mmy goal as well. I ran a 5:53 in 2011, but had knee surgery last year, so I get to start over.

    Good stuff. My running goal for this Spring and Summer is to work on 5K and shorter distances with the primary goal to get below 5:00 for the mile. It's a HUGE stretch, but I have a great aerobic base to start from.

    Congrats. I think I can do 8 for one mile maybe, but I can only dream of 7. Not even in my dreams.

    To everyone, thank you so much. It's hard to believe that I started out 2012 with a 9:37 and with the weight loss and just continued hard work I've gotten this quick. I'm so ready for a great 2013.. As for the people who dream of running 8 minute/7 minute miles... keep working hard. you'll get there. You truly will. You have to be confident that you can do it. There's no barrier too big or too small that you can't break through. One day I'll be a sub 5 minute miler. Small steps but a BIG change. That's what it's all about.

    You are my new hero! Making me want to push to get to where you are (or at least faster than where I am)! Great job!
