You've been Battyed

Only 350 or so Americans have run the mile in under 4 minutes. Junior Miles Batty, new record holder at BYU, is one of them.

I love how Jimmer even features in this article. Batty broke the BYU record for the mile or as coach Ed Eyestone said, "You could say he Jimmered the record."

That is an impressive feat. Congrats to Batty!

I'd love to run a sub 5.

I go for a run now and wonder how I ever run as fast as I did back when I was younger. It's kind of sad and depressing.

When I played lacrosse we never ran just one mile, but my best two mile was just over 12 minutes. I don't know if that's any good, but I know I was in great shape!

My high school senior year the track coach made us go out for cross country, which at the time was two miles. My first practice I couldn't even finish, but my final race I ran 11:45, which was about 8th or 9th on the squad...not bad for a high jumper.

I'd hate to run a mile! Give me a Rascal or a Jazzy instead ;)

They make me run in the Army. I don't know why. Haven't met a Soldier yet who could outrun a bullet.

I ran a sub-4 minute mile once. Except I was on a bike.....and it was a kilometer.

I ran a sub-4 minute mile once. Except I was sitting at Carl's Jr.....and it was a Guacamole Bacon Six-Dollar Burger.

I ran a sub-4 minute mile once. Except I was at the Marriott Center ... and it was Jimmer dropping 43 on the Aztecs.
