Well, I'm 21, and I've never done track or crosscountry or anything like that. So the only time that I know is that my best mile was somewhere around 5.40 (I time myself periodically on a mile, but normally jog somewhere on the streets where I don't even know how far I go).

i can't find my 5k times, but i know i was near 19.30 in september

When a US Marine takes his/her physical fitness test, it's scored.

You're already busting out a mile, anywhere from 21 to 37 seconds FASTER rate than what is necessary to score a perfect score on the Marines Physical Fitness Test for the run.  (The Marines call a 6 minute mile a 'perfect' score for a USMC recruit)

My personal best was in the vicinity of an 8 minute mile, and that was when I was 19, and had come to near the end of my boot camp.

You're doing great!  If you can keep up with combat Marines on your runs... you're in fine shape!!
