Running

Following on from the Martial Arts thread, as well as other training, I am now regularly doing a 2 mile run (1 mile, rest for a few minutes, a mile back - Distance measured on a bike computer) on a roughish, quite twisty and gravelly cycle path with a about 50m of uphill near the end (the Avon Cycle path for those that might know it) as a warm up to a weights session.
Now started timing myself and best so far is 5m36s.
Is this any good or am I a gayboy who needs to sort himself out?
Never really run all that much (apart from POC training) but generally pretty fit.

I've done it in my university "Officer Training Corps"
Probably viewed by you guys as totally gay but we got basic infantry training, a bit of officery stuff and spent lots of time freezing to death in Crickhowell and Sennybridge in Wales - My idea of fun!
We also got paid for it - Result!
