Impressing myself

Yesterday afternoon when I reached the 1 mile marker on US 51 in Tipton County, I decided to walk a timed mile. When I opened my phone, it was 5:31, so I waited for it to change to 5:32 before walking. Also, my pedometer showed that I'd already walked 7.66 miles for the day. I expected it to take me at least 19:30 to walk the mile, so I set an alarm for 5:51. --> Not far into my mile, I stopped to pick up a nickel from the road. Later I picked up a penny. These two stops probably added 10 seconds to my time. I figured the stops would push me back to about 20 minutes, so when the Shelby County line came into view (Mile 0), I expected to hear the alarm, but no alarm. As I crossed the county line, still no alarm. I consulted the pedometer; it read '8.66,' as it should have. I looked at my phone to see the time. It was still 5:49. So I counted the seconds until 5:50. 40 seconds! That means
I walked the mile in 17:20. --> About half a mile later, I decided to time the next mile, too...
