It's a mile and a half.

[LongElegantLegs]

Heck, *I* can run faster than that.

[NonValueAdded]

It would be 12.5 feet per second or what, about four running strides a second?

A seven minute mile ain't bad for average Joe.

[Tribune7]

It's 1.5 mile.

5th graders are young and fit. I wish I could do now what I could do then. That said, it sounds like that Lad has done some hard living in between childhood and Naval Acadamy. Playstation and Computers and MTV, probably.

Maybe should have listened to Mom and played outside more.

It is a mile and a half. That means 7 minutes per mile.

[OCCASparky]

But this is a mile and a half. Yeah, I know--it's only a 7-minute mile. Anyone can do that, right? [/sarc]

Well, he SHOULD--he's in his early 20's and in prime physical condition. I could do that and I was smoking a pack a day at the time.

But 127K? Isn't he obligated to enlisted service instead?

5th graders aren't as old as this guy, and don't have as much weight.

It’s a mile in a half.
