Evidently improving

This morning's 30 minute run marked the first 30-minute run where I actually went past the 2 mile mark. So, instead of stopping short of the 0-mile marker (30 minute runs are out to the 1 mile marker and back), I actually went past it, just past the water fountain, before my 30 minute timer went off. Here's a comparison of some recent 30-minute runs.

Date	Distance	Avg. pace
7-3	1.84	16:18
7-5	1.87	16:02
7-18	2.0	15:00
7-24	2.06	14:34

All these runs were performed at approximately the same effort. So, here are the stats from this morning's run:

Venue: Memorial Park
Total time: 30 minutes
Total distance: 2.06 miles
Average HR: 156
Avg pace: 14:34
Mile 1: 14:18 (152 bpm avg.)
