So my mile was not exactly a mile

It was more like 2 miles according to mapmyrun.com. The pedometer app I used was apparently for crap.

The good news is I've been running 2 miles. Phew. After that first time I was worried maybe I would be dead soon. Turns out I'm just normal out-of-shape.

Bonus!

See, and your body will quickly get used to the 2 mile jaunt. When I used to train, I would add one more electric pole to each run, before turning around. Before you know it, you've added an extra mile!

And yes, pedometers are silly. There are much better ways to measure your runs, including some good iPhone apps that are more or less Yahoo maps with built in GPS.

Good to know! And good for you, you are inspiring me. Maybe I will eventually GET UP and start running again, too.
