A guy I work out with just finished first in a local 5k with a time of 15:49... that's 3.1 miles, not 1.  I find it funny that her post-worthy mile pace is less than the total 5K time that someone else at my workout group had to tell us about because the guy that ran it didn't brag about coming in 1st or completing a 5k in under 16 minutes. Hell, I'm slow as molasses trying to roll uphill in the winter and even on my slow, long runs I stay in the single digit minutes... let alone on a 1 mile attempt...
