5th Graders running the mile

[Veronica]

.... in myyyyyy day, we had to run a 6-minute mile for the Presidential Fitness whateveritwas. And people were running 50-mile races all over the country as part of that same JFK initiative.

Also, get off my lawn. <rattles cane>

I guess that's a sign of how less fit current society is. To qualify for the Presidential Fitness award you need to be in the top 15%. The current qualifying time for ten year old boys is right around 8:30 and for girls is 9:15.
