im a 13 year old girl, and im not expirienced in running. my time was 8min. and 54 sec., however, i stopped for about 30 sec. and walked with my best friend because she threw up, so really my time shouldve been shorter, but would that be short enough to be good?

For a 13-year-old girl who is NOT an experienced runner, one mile in under nine minutes is pretty darned good. However, if you're thinking about running competitively as a distance runner on the girls' track team, you'd have to practice a lot and get that mile time down under seven minutes. But hey, considering your age and your lack of regular practice at running, you did good.

Yeah, it's really good! You should feel proud of yourself. Congratulations on keeping your body fit. THat was nice of you to stop for your friend. The way you acted towards her is worth more than your time on the mile.

the Army standard for Women is something like 15-17 minutes for a two mile run.
for men its something like 13-15 minutes
so I say you did pretty good keep it up.

Why don't you talk with the girl's gym coaches about all this physical training stuff? They may be happy to help you along with your goals.

It says you're in pretty good shape.. kids on my highschool track team run about 4-6 minute miles.. just for an idea as to where to stand in that category. =)

Sorry, that's really not very good. 6 minutes is a good time.
