So could kids age 7-10 run 1 1/8 miles in 10 minutes. Well, no. They may be fast, but they haven't built up that kind of endurance usually. So I think it would make better sense to add on 5 minutes, at the least, maybe 10. Thoughts?
Adding the extra 5-10 minutes makes sense. Actually, it would probably take me about 10-15 minutes to run a mile now - I really need to use the elevators less.

I should be able to post again tomorrow. If anyone has something to post before I'm back, please go ahead.
