It's not necessarily bad, as long you change your oil more frequently. Engine wear occurs most when you're driving on a cold startup, so just don't drive too hard during that 1 mile stretch. Driving short distances like that doesn't give your engine enough time to warm up to proper operating temperatures either.. *the temperature gauge isn't a good indicator of "proper operating" btw.
