Getting Better

Today, I ran 5 kilometers in a little under 28:00. That's a 9 minute mile. I have been able to shave off two whole minutes since I started taking running seriously two and a half weeks ago. I start every time with a higher base, and increase the pace every half mile or so. My favorite part of running is the end, when I let myself go into a full sprint and feel like I have nothing left to give. My goal is to shave off one more minute by the time I run my last race this year. Today, I felt like throwing up at the end. That's when you know you've given it your all.
