I have this list above my desk that details all of the race results from when I started running. I noticed earlier this week that I hadn't updated it in a long time, so I decided to do that.
I think that whenever I am feeling down about my running I am going to look at this list and remember how much I've improved.
Here are some example pace improvements.
For my 10K:
11/24/05 10:38
11/23/06 9:09
3/3/07 9:35
11/22/07 9:06
6/2/09 8:33
or for a 4 miler:
7/1/06 9:45
6/30/07 9:09
7/19/08 9:09
9/6/08 8:35
or perhaps my half marathons, which I just started running last year:
9/14/08 9:29
10/12/08 9:15
2/8/09 8:45
I think the 10K is the most impressive jump. :)
EDIT: Whoops I forgot the marathon list because I was rushing to finish this before I was meeting Bill for a lunchtime shopping trip!
Marathon:
5/6/07 11:55
10/7/07 13:21 (but that's ok, considering the circumstances...the whole marathon being cancelled in the middle)
5/4/08 10:55
10/26/08 10:01
5/4/09 10:12
Aiming for a 9:06 pace this time (fingers crossed).

That's a great idea and motivation tool! Where's your marathon list?
I love this post! I just started running in February of this year, and am training for my first half marathon in Sept. I am insanely slow (11:23 10k (HOT day), 10:58 15K, 10:50 5K - I've run one of each!)
I am quite encouraged by your improvement as there are days I am convinced I will never break a 10:30 minute mile for any distance (let alone ever get into single digits!)
I, too, blog about my runs and am considering a marathon next year for my b-day. I'll certainly be checking your blog out regularly!!
Glad to have "met" you!
Sincerely,
