As you can also see on the What I'm Reading page, I believe you have to measure something to improve it. This page exists to help my track my exercise and stay in good shape.

In the summer of 2009, I decided to get serious about running again after many years off. Since then, my primary goals have been to run at least 15 miles per week and exercise at least 210 minutes per week. This simple plan has worked better than I would have ever imagined. As you can see below, I'm even closing in on my 5K PRs from way back in high school!

• Run a 5K in 23:15 (7:30 pace) - 10/10/09 Autism 5K 23:12
• Run a 5K in 22:30 (7:15 pace) - 12/5/09 Jingle Bell 5K 22:29
• Break 7:00 pace with a 21:38 5K - 2/7/10 Run for the Roses 5K 21:32
• Break my junior year high school cross country PR of 21:16 (6:52 pace)
