my personal best record

today i achieved something new. a new personal record. i went to gym. treadmill. ran a 5 kilometers in 28 minutes, burnt 371 calories (that is pathetic after such heavy panting for 28 minutes), with average speed of 9.9 kilometer per hour.

i googled online for some fitness test examples, to check whether i passed the test or not. i found this test, a 3-mile run test. below is the table stating the scoring system:

Age	3-mile run (males)	3-mile run (females)
17-26	28 minutes	31 minutes
27-39	29 minutes	32 minutes
40-45	30 minutes	33 minutes
46+	33 minutes	36 minutes

*notes: 3 miles is equal to 4.828 kilometers*

and... i passed the test! woohoo! just at the border. i am not a regular runner but trying to run at least twice or thrice per week. but if i was to compare myself with athletes, i guess i could kiss their ass good bye. anyway, i am still proud of the result because i never thought i would pass the test.
