Improved my time by a bit today, so that's good!
What I'm more impressed with about myself right now is that 1/5 of a mile was at 5.5mph! I'm trying to work on varying my speeds since I'm sure that race nerves and being around other runners will influence my speed a bit. By doing up and down speed variations, I'll push my body until I HAVE to slow down so I can teach my muscles what the signs are that I need to adjust. I'm feeling good though!!
Also, I bought a heart rate monitor today - it'll help me keep much better track of the calories I'm burning so I have a much clearer idea of what's going out and I can adjust what's going in accordingly. :)
