Unhappy I am so Out of Shape

Not sure if anyone cares, but it made me feel bad.

Okay, well this morning I decided to go running because I haven't trained in a while and I thought I was getting a little out of shape. I was waayyy more than a little out of shape. I started jogging and I totally ran out of breath just a little before a 1/4 mile.
I never considered myself in tip top best condition, but I use to be able to run a mile pretty good.
Now it feels like I got a long way to go just to get the way I was before.

OK, 1st, shouldn't this be in the Racing section?

2nd, we can't really discuss anything until you provide numbers: How many footpounds of torque did you develop and what was your Time (Don't make me raise the BS Flag!)

3rd, are you non-aspirated, and were you huffing nitrous?

4th, as you willfully admit, you are NOT a racer, so why bother? This isn't about straight-line speed, but rather, enjoying the curves...

Now that all this is settled: Good luck!

I just started my membership at the Y yesterday, I am freaking sore today. I'm in decent shape, but I am way too lazy, so I decided to join. Luckily for me they had 50% special on their swanky membership, it works out to about $30/month... Not too bad.

I ran a mile to warm up and did chest exercises last night, I can barely move my arms today. Today it my day off lifting, so if I go, I'm going to go run and then do maybe some ab stuff. I dunno, I'll probably just be lazy and say F it.

I run track at my school and we practice 6 days a week. I run miles every day. It isn't that difficult, and I wouldn't say I am in excellent shape either. My last timed mile was 6:27.9, but I'm a sprinter so it's allowed to be that bad I run the short races, 100M, 200M and 400M (which sucks A LOT). You guys have any times to share?
