One Mile

I ran on the treadmill inside the gym for the second time today.  Acclimatization is slow, but I can feel my body adapting.

11:30 am, due to an uninvited guest making an appearance moments before getting in the car, I wasn't able to leave for the gym until past noon.

12:30 pm, parked my car on the lot and headed for the treadmill.  At this point, I only had 45 minutes of running left before I needed to have all my things ready for work.  I ran for 6.5 miles, and somewhere in between, someone jumped on the treadmill to my right.  The man ran for one mile then left swiftly out the door.  I can't tell if the guy did a workout pre-treadmill, there were no indications that he did, and I was dumbfounded because 1 mile was an awful short amount of distance to be exercising in.  If such was the case, was a thing like that normal?  Wouldn't the option of a lap-around-the-neighborhood run, along the same goal of accomplishing the same one mile distance, void the need to burn up gasoline for home-gym transportation?
