I ran cross country and track in high school. Now I run a couple times per week to stay in shape for ultimate frisbee. So I do lots of running, basically.

However, I do run for fitness (3-5 miles, 3-4 times a week) and play tennis 1-2 times a week. Played club tennis and college and four years of varsity tennis in high school (back in the 90s)
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, Dude...I try to run 3-4 miles three or four times a week...had a rough go of it yesterday though and only managed 2 running miles and 1/2 walk/jog.
I do 5K's in the summer now also. I did one last week and got a 22:28 which I thought was pretty good.
And Omaha...you were FLYING in high school; good job man.

Yeah, the speed walk with short strides. You're afraid if you take too long of a stride it will open up the ol' sphincter a little too much and then it's all over.
I can't remember my best time in cross country, because of the different courses, but we did win a few invites.
Wow that 400 times insane since you can also run a 10:05!!!
I ran the longer distances all through high school. Some guys graduated and we were weak at the middle distances (400-800m). We didn't realize I was that quick in the 400 till a couple meets before districts my senior year. Made state, but didn't place.

I'm a freshman and my PR last year was 65, but I'm going for under 60 by next year, got any workout plans for me?
