A Good Sign?
Monday, March 26, 2007

As I've been streamlining this monster blog and bringing some older posts (and post attempts) up-to-date, I've had the opportunity make some comparisons between this spring and last spring...

Mid-April last year I ran 18 miles from Fairport to Gates... relatively flat, with a few gradual uphills and about 2/3 paved. It took me 4 hrs 49 min.

Almost two weeks ago I ran 17 miles on the bike path, in around 3 hrs 49 minutes... a full hour less than last year's 18 mile run. And then Sunday I ran 20 miles in 4 hrs 21 minutes - still substantially faster than last year.

Perhaps, despite my injuries and layoff from the Crash last fall, I'm improving?
