As it can also be seen on my What I'm Reading page, I believe you have to measure something to improve it. This page exists to help track my exercise as I get back into good running shape.

Running Cross Country played a major part in my life during high school and I continued running and racing recreationally when I went to college. I always tracked my mileage, pace, and weight meticulously and it helped keep me focused on what I needed to work on.

Unfortunately, overtraining got the best of me during college. I ended up with knee pain that kept me away from the sport for a few years. I'm just now seriously getting back into running and re-discovering how much I enjoy it.

Currently I'm shooting for around 7:30 mile pace in some 5K road races.
