Ah, the daily tasks just keeping piling up. Updating my running diary is one that's been on the bottom of the list for quite some time but I want to capture some information for posterity's sake.

My running has been consistent since November or so and I decided around the first of the year that if I'm going to get out there and run regularly I might as well try and get faster. No more plodding along--I won't win a marathon but I should be striving to get faster.

So far it seems to be working. Ran a couple 10K's this year and was pleased with my time and my "long" runs (standard disclaimer: I use that term loosely) have been a minute or so faster per mile than in previous years.
