I started running and am currently doing a mile which is 1,760 yards
That is awesome. I have trouble running a mile. Is that a common milestone?
The mile is close to the 1500 meter race and is usually at a lot of track contests
Is there a record for the fastest mile?
Moroccos Hicham El Guerrouj ran it in 3:43.13  Much faster than me
That sounds unbelievable. What else can you tell me about the mile?
The mile run started in England in the 18th and 19th Centurys
That is interesting. I would have thought they would run in kilometers. Very cool.
