Glad it's not just me then!
I'd had a period of about 4 years while I was working full time and doing an MBA in the evenings and weekends, when I did no exercise at all really - that's why I was down @ the 1/4 mile level (that and the fact I'd piled on the lbs). It took me about a year to get to the level where I am now, and I my target is 5 miles - I see no reason I'll ever what to run any further than that (although I might try to get the speed up a a bit after that.

Yeah - 3 in 19 mins is about the speed I'm aiming at, although I did 2 miles @ 7 mph recently, and I would like to get it up to about 8.5. That's not easy with my short fat hairy legs through. (Imagine a beano-eque picture of whirling legs and you'll get the idea)
