I have NEVER not had a fat PE teacher. From preschool to graduation. Not one.

That's great dear, but sadly your teachers aren't representative of all PE teachers.

I get the feeling he didn't watch carefully or at all. If OP had skipped a lap, that'd be noticeable, right?

Not really, with 25 students running it can sometimes be confusing. Coach should make him do it a different day though instead of right after completing a mile so he gets an accurate time and can pay better attention

When we had to run the mile, you were handed a Popsicle stick every time you passed the starting line. When you had four sticks, you were done. Nice and simple.

Forrest! Get his name right or don't say it. Sorry people. This just really bugged me. I loved that movie.

Aww... And I used to like reading your comments. Now I am boycotting you. Don't hate, some people just suck at running. I was very athletic in high school, I held the record for the female category of bench press and squat, I was also in several sports but I was still always last or close to last when running the mile. For some reason I just couldn't breath and ended up having to walk because of breathing issues. Don't be mean

I'm sure Perdix is just as out of shape as the rest of us, don't take it to heart.

#62, tell that to James, whose ass I beat at tennis (singles) in a USTA league match. I sweated more, but I won 7-5, 6-1.

#54, what does that even mean? I'm not selling anything, nor do I have sponsors. If you don't want to read my comments, fine, but some people find them entertaining, so it seems like you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. You'd have a lot more fun if you didn't take my comments so seriously.

And what about someone like me, who has exercise-aggravated asthma? Even if I take medication before running, I still double over coughing, choking and gasping for air as my lungs close up.

You're a total douche

who the **** is James?

#73, wouldn't you have a doctor's note to excuse you from partaking in such a hazardous exercise? #78, this dude I played tennis against last night. The first set was close and when he lost, he had a total meltdown like a five-year-old might. The second set was a breeze.

aren't running and tennis two different sports?

Damn everyone is jumping on Perdix's nuts today. You guys need to relax. Goooooosfraba.

#100, and not in the fun way!

Well, PerDIX, people with asthma can't run a mile. You're welcome, asshat.

Stfu. Asthma has been said 500 times already. Schools wont make you run if you're asthmatic. Now go hide in a corner somewhere and cry.

Haha perdix, you got a hate group now. Guys, the OP never said, "I have *insert physical impairment here*". Look guys, some of America could lose a few pounds. It's a fact.

Lately it seems that we have been overrun by the Reddit and 4Chan crowd. Does that mean I'm going to have to start hash tagging my comments and forget everything I've learned in the last decade or two to fit in?

Yes they will. My son was made to run in his PE class without his inhaler readily available quite often. Along with other student with asthma. One to the point of needing to to to the hospital. Parents complained about this practice. School said "Oh the coach (football) knows what he's doing." After the girl was hospitalized, parents sued. School still didn't correct his issues, not until he was arrested for sexual assault on female students. And that was only about five years ago. Maybe you shouldn't make blanket comments when you obviously don't know all.

While that is true, someone with asthma could go into an attack.

You are a jerk. No respect for anyone and no one cares about your stupid Tennis match.

Ofwgkta.

My school doesn't get out until June 26th.

Is it entirely unfathomable that people actually have made generations after yourself?
