22yr, 5'10" 165lb lifeguard here, i've been a runner for a long time and 6-min mile is my race-pace. Then again i have a friend that's 30lbs lighter than me and 2 inches taller and he ran a 4:07 the other day, but he's just disgusting (seems like he sprints when he takes off and just never slows down).
8 minutes for a mile is the running requirement for being a lifeguard, i'd make that your goal this summer. If you can break that earlier than expected? Drop it down to 7 minutes, then 6:30. Beat my 6 min by the end of summer, and my hat's off to you. Oh, and no cheating with running the whole thing downhill ;)
p.s. a 13-minute-mile isn't running a mile. It's walking.
