I've been training for the Army 10 miler in Oct. for the last 4 weeks. I thought some of you might like to see how fast you can improve with a little bit of sweat (rest is copied from my blog):

Well I thought it might be fun to see the progression of my run times just by looking at my 4 mile runs.

May 20 - 4.0miles - 62 min - 15:30 pace

May 27 - 4.0miles - 63 min - 15:57 pace

June 3 - 4.0 miles - 56 min - 14:13 pace

June 12 - 4.0 miles - 54 min - 13:34 pace

June 14 - 4.0 miles - 53 min - 13:15 pace

That's quite a difference in four weeks I think! I've knocked over 2:30 off my pace in four weeks. Obviously that's not something I can keep up for too long but I'm thrilled with this.

I'd also like to say that I finally broke through the 13 min mile and finished one of my miles on my run today in 12:24! Obviously this was a bit too fast as I didn't keep up with my 13:09 on the 5 miles on Sunday but still I'm thrilled.

So there you have it, a little sweat and a lot of determination and you can really get those run times down.
