Tomorrow morning Rob and I are running a 5k race. My 5k time last week was so fast, that I'm not sure I can improve on it so soon. I got to thinking about my 5k running history, wondering how fast I was in my first race and how much I've improved, so I got online and looked up all my previous 5k race times:
June 1, 2002
National Race for the Cure (My first 5k ever!)
36:53
September 7, 2002
Arlington 9/11 Memorial 5K
33:01
May 12, 2007
Preakness 5K
32:31
May 9, 2008
Loundon County 5K
27:38
June 28, 2008
Women's Distance Festival 5K
26:54
It looks like the triathlon cross-training and running intervals regularly over this past winter made me a lot faster. Since my first 5k six years ago I've knocked almost exactly 10 minutes off my time. I've improved my time with every race I've done. Let's see if I can do it again....

Holy cow! 10 minutes off your first time! That is so cool. Doesn't it feel good to watch yourself improve? That's one thing I'm sad about now that I've moved. I had this running path that I judged myself on. I could tell how well I was doing by how far I made it in a certain amount of time. 4 acres of rented forest is worth that little loss though.
