I go running quite often. Almost daily, well, until the last week or two I've slacked a bit. So I dragged Brandon to come run BYU's 5k with me, which was an anti-pornography and abuse run. (Instead of wearing numbers we all had quotes about abuse, etc. and standing up for what is right, I thought it was pretty creative.)
Anyway, I know I am not a very fast runner, but I run 5 miles all the time, and it's not a big deal. 3 is even easier. Somehow, Brandon who goes running about as often as we have general conference, finished 7 minutes before me. And that's counting the 2 times he just stood in the shade waiting for me until I told him he should just run and I would meet him at the end. He said it was so much easier running a race than running by himself because it was really fun to keep passing all those people. I think passing people is fun too, but for some reason I just let everyone pass me instead. I guess I'm generous like that. Or just plain slow.

His legs are something like three times as long as yours are.
But I hate that too. I run everyday and I'm still slower than a lot of casual joggers. I just try to remind myself how slow and fat I would be if I didn't do anything.
that's a really good point. depressing and helpful at the same time.
at least you're running. i'm pretty sure i only went once last week. i keep telling chris i gotta get on the ball...then i find something else to do
Slow: NEVER
Generous: TOTALLY!!!
