Not slowing down...

In fact, I'm getting faster.

It's crazy to me.

A few years ago, I ran my first 5K since I started this health kick that has seemed to stick with me. My time was 36 minutes or a 12:00/mile pace. And I remember it being HARD AS HELL!

Now, my PR for a 5K is 26 minutes! That's a huge improvement!

Tonight, my workout called for 4 rounds of 1/2 mile sprints. You could rest as long as you wanted between each round, and I ended using 3 minutes after each one.

Guess how fast I ran each 1/2 mile???

Guess... (except for you Amy because I already texted you, your guess doesn't count...)


3:40!!!

...

3:40!!!
(had to type it again for impact)
Holy crap right? That's a 7:20/mile pace! Yowsa! And I kept it up through all four rounds, but it was hard!

I can't really find any recent stats from running 1/2 mile sprints... but I did find one from three months ago where I ran 1/2 mile sprints in 4:20, so I've taken 40 seconds off!

On a side note- to one of my most favoritist (shut up) people EVER- Amy- GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND!!! You're going to do awesome during your race and your training is going to pay off. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Until tomorrow,
