    Since I started working out again on February 28th, I've brought my mile time from 11:42 to 7:23. I'm hoping to take another minute off before summer ends.
    Amazing improvement!!! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you! Now if I could get my mileage past 2 miles..... :/ I'm hoping to be to a 10k distance by the end of summer as well. I'm running a 5k this Saturday, and I'm hoping to keep my pace time between 9:30 and 10:00.

    Last Fall I ran a marathon about 10 minutes faster than the previous year. And I came within 8.5 minutes of qualifying for Boston. I hope to slice off another 10 minutes this year and qualify for Boston Marathon this Fall.

    Awesome! I'll never be fast enough at the full marathon distance to qual for Boston, but two weeks ago I ran the Tour De Pain Extreme (3 races in 24 hours) and was just shy of my 10k PR with 43:08, and set a half-marathon PR of 1:38 and 5k PR of 21:09 (which I have broken since, down to 20:19 now).

    I'm most proud of my Half Marathon PR of 1:39:46 ... it took me 3 years of solid running and 17 Halfs to get below 1:40. I'm also proud of my 3:52 marathon PR also though, but man I worked for that half time!

    My half marathon PR - which I'm hoping to beat in June - is 1:55:22. My 5k PR is 24:34.

    My full marathon PR is so slow that I'm pretty much guaranteed to break it on my next one - unless I stop for lunch somewhere during the race :)

    I'm envious of you runners - I've never been able to do better than a 10 minute mile.

    Right now I've got two PRs I'm proud of:

    In the highland games, I just hit 14'6" on the 56 lb weight for height event. That's a 18" jump from last year - proof to myself that all this work in the gym actually means something! (for everyone who doesn't know the highland games, the weight for height is a one-handed throw of a 56 lb weight over a bar)

    And Saturday I finally cleared not only a 600 lb raw squat (a 20-25 lb jump), but did it well below parallel!

    Running PR's of which I am most proud: 19:56 5k, 1:32 1/2 Marathon, 3:20 Marathon
    Lifting PR of which I am most proud: 460lbs on the leg press

    I'm a female so I think the latter is pretty cool. :smile:

    Well, three marathons so far. 4:19 first one, 3:48 second (a year later), and then 3:46 (two months later). I think qual time for a man my age is 3:10? I am definitely a middle-distance guy, 10k to 10 milers are my best events.

    My 5k PR earned at the BAA 5k the day before the Boston Marathon- 28:01. Fastest 5k pushing the jogging stroller was 29:52 last August.

    Hopefully I'll have a new half marathon PR next week.

    6 months of consistent 60 mile weeks and I bet you would be under 3:30. Another 18 months more and you'd be sniffing that 3:10.

    And there's my biggest obstacle. I struggle to make the time to put in 35-mile average weeks, between work, doctoral coursework, and family. If I could somehow find the time to increase to that kind of mileage, I would love to give it a try.
