I ran a 4.9 once.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I ran for nine once on an end-around.

Took me awhile.

Sweet Jesus put some pads on that dude... does he have any eligibility left?

 

[TAF]

It takes me 4.1 seconds to stand up...if I HURRY!

I ran a 4.9 once.

Yeah that’s was my fastest times (1979) . I read 5.2 is average so we can say we were faster than average at one time , LOL. My HS’s fastest two guys ran 4.7 and 4.8 and usually beat me by a stride head to head. They were 6’0 and 6’2 and I was about 5’8 max.

 

[Mccage]

I was that fast my first time!

 

[VFL1953]

I ran a 4.8 once. I was told that's a little slow for 40 minutes.

 

[GlockVol]

I would like to try and see what my old man 40 time would be, but I would have to stop and pee at about 20 yards........ Just saying.

I don't run. If you ever see me run, you better run also, cause something is chasing me.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Why you should never believe HS times. I ran a "4.89", that got rounded down to 4.8. I got caught from behind on a long run by a DT that weighed 275 lbs that I had a 10 yard head start on...

I have been running and have gotten up to almost 5 miles. There are houses being built in my subdivision so I get to use the Port-a-Potty a couple of times during that time or else I would have to cut it short. LOL

I ran a 40 once they timed it with an hour glass

True story, I’m a former college baseball player in my late 40s and about 10 years ago I was at one of my kid’s friend’s birthday parties at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. I was in shorts and running shoes and decided I would see if I still had it. I was fully confident I would run about a 4.7 to 4.8 40. I got a great jump, wind at my back, arms pumping, and I thought I was burning gassss...............I ran a 5-freaking 2. I pretty much gave up on life on that day.

[munsterlander]

Ha. My best 40 story is I ran something like a 4.3 once, which blew the coaches mind - then we realized we only ran 35 yards.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I run to the fridge for more beer. Fastest time in Knoxville.

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

You sure it wasn't a 12.4 and you just got the numbers mixed up?

 

[Wireless1]

The first four steps are what dictates how fast....I’d be just as fast as I was at 18 if I wasn’t lugging this extra 60 pounds

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I ran a 4.9 once.

I did a 4.8 once in 1973. Usually was 4.9 or 5.0. Hand timed so who really knows

 

[i2amavol]

My 11 year-old grandson outran me recently, but my top end speed is close. The younger grandchildren are pretty much a dead heat at ages 7 - 10. I am getting a re-match though.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I ran for nine once on an end-around.

Took me awhile.

Are you me? In an alternate universe? Had an end around for 9 in double A.. I was mad I didn’t get the 10 for the first, Coach was mad I didn’t break it

 

[orangebloodgmc]

I drank a 40 once.

Edit: It may have been only a quart.

 

[Remy]

I have an ex that could kill a forty of Colt 45.
