1.5 Mile Run/Walk Time - 21:54

I guess my fitness category would have to be Extremely Poor and just barely above Pathetically Poor. But, it's a start and there's no where to go but better. And the fact remains that I did it. Weather permitting, I'd like to repeat the test at least once a month to see if I am actually improving.

My pace was barely better than walking. I did make it a full lap "jogging" before I had to walk. My time for that lap was 3:20, which is absolutely pitiful and equates to a mile time of 13:20 whereas my quick walking pace is right about 16:30. I walked the second entire lap and had a time at the half mile of 5:25. After those two laps I generally walked a quarter lap and jogged a quarter lap. My time at the mile was 14:40 and my time at the finish was 21:54, so at least I did beat 22 minutes, which I wasn't at all sure was going to happen after that first lap.
