to get us through the 3.1 miles that lie ahead. The gun goes off, and we all run. Packs of runners form around you, shoving and cutting in front of you to try and wear you down. As we cross the first mile mark, I’m at 5:40. Perfect; my plan to start off slow, and then pick them off through the next 2 miles is working. However, Coach tells me I am in 80th place, so I have to speed up. In my head, I count my place everytime I pass someone. 79th,78th,77th… I run by the 2 mile mark, and I had worked my

I feel it course through my lungs, searing my alveolar sacs as they desperately try to extract a few molecules of oxygen from the air, renewing my depleted blood and sending it whooshing back to my legs and arms traveling almost 12,000 miles in a day.

At the beginning of 2013, I had never successfully run a mile. In school, I was the kid that frustrated my P.E. teachers by walking the mandatory mile in twenty minutes.

mythbusters made the car dirty and tested the car to go 1 mile at a speed of 65 miles per hour to see how much fuel it took and the result was 26 miles to the gallon (Mythbusters Season 7 Episode 14 Cleans Car vs Dirty Car).

As I flew over Exeter toward my destination, I grabbed the throttle that was at medium speed and pushed forward to maximum acceleration. My head and body were still, waiting for the moment when I could accomplish the mission sent by supreme leader, Adolf Hitler. My navy blue uniform had my body clammy from the confined cockpit’s heat, and my goggles were starting to fog. My gloves were the only thing that allowed me to keep a good grip on the pilot stick, because the closer the white dot on the
