Heart of the City by Steenz for January 12, 2023

How about the number of steps in a mile?

Looks like Dean literally lost his lunch on being told he needs to run a mile. (check out the fate of his sandwich in the second panel,)

make that metric and probably you’ll be good to go

We are going for a 5 K run…what that’s too far…well how about we just go three miles? … well that’s better!!!

If he wore a centipede costume, it would average out better.

It really doesn’t.

Go with the training sequence with the “Rocky” soundtrack.

In our day, it wasn’t even a question whether we could, and the same with our kids. A physically healthy kid should be able to run an obstacle course without any difficulty.

At his age, he should be able to run a mile and not get out of breath.

If it helps even further, Dean, that’s only 1,760 yards!

I sympathize as I too could not run a mile in middle school and running a lap was a challenge. At least I was in special ed pe without th ehorrifying public showers or public humilation.
