    Funny. I ran my fastest mile EVER when I was in 5th grade - and I still had to walk some of it! 7:40. I'll never forget it as I was one of the slower kids and it was embarrassing. That would have been in the mid-late 70's, I believe.

    No wonder they had trouble. I can run a mile in about 12.5 minutes, but not when it's that hot. Even at 15ºC, I sweat for 20 minutes afterwards.

    It's already 70 degrees here at 4:15 AM. I'd have to wait until November to get cooler temperatures when I can take them out and then I have to deal with rain. They run around at lunch recess in those temps.

    The nice thing about have terrible heat & humidity for the pre-test is they can't hardly help but improve for the post-test. That doesn't mean their fitness improved, only the weather, but who cares, it'll be a great psychological boost to them and you!
