I was just looking over my running log and I realized that I have been running for just over 6 years (first 5K was March 9th, 2002 which I did NO training for so I count that as my start date) and that I have dropped exactly 10 minutes off my 5K time.
My first 5K was finished in 30:16 and I was toast when I was done. My legs hurt, I couldnt breathe and when I sat down to take off the timing chip I literally couldnt get up on my own. All I wanted to do after that was eat something and go home and lie down.
Jump forward 6 years to today. My most recent 5K (well, actually my last two 5Ks both came in at the exact same time) was 20:16, and after it I was ready to go run a few more miles. I was tired and out of breath right at the end but after a few minutes rest I was ready to go again.
Just shows what a few years can do for you.  |

| Nice job, Jeff. Keep up the great work. I'm hopeful that after six years for me I'll be down to where you're at on the 5-K scene! |
