OK, is that not "shaving" but "carving?"

I haven't done my RR yet, but here I sit in my damp race clothes just pleased as punch and needed to share with those who get it.  My goal was to improve my run (again as last month I did 20 secs per mile better than prior month), I was hoping for another ~20-25sec/mile ... I walloped that!  45seconds per mile faster!!!  I am sooooooo pleased.  All on same sprint course.

YESSIREEBOB!!!  I rocked that run.  I feel like running again!  yippee!!

Next month the distances will be the same although the run course will change, fewer hills, wonder what goals I can set for that??

If anyone has some extra kudos sitting around waiting for an occasion, I'd love some sent my way -- I'm just so giddy!!

Saaaweeeet! Congrats on your continued improvement.

ETA: BTW, I might describe a 45 sec/mi run improvement as "hacked off", shaved or even carved doesn't do justice to the magnitude of the improvement...

Nice work!  Days like this make all the training that much more worth it.

Congrats!  That is one heck of a breakthrough!

If you're still carving huge chunks of time off like that you're nowhere near your top potential, so look forward to more improvements.

My head is tired today -- from too much smiling?

Pink, I do hope to keep trimming my time down, it's certainly energizing to meet and exceed!! my goals.  What a way to jazz up my training plan.  i now want to take a little time to rethink the next month to see if I can hack off more time in Sept!

Yippee!
