Improvement Continues

Having just completed the Brooklyn 1/2 Marathon I have started a 8 week speed training program before my July 1 commencement of an 18 week training program for the NYC Marathon. Yesterday was a scheduled tempo run which basically was 5k in distance. The run was done at a 8:35 pace which was basically the pace of my last 5k race at Coogan's about 2 months ago. The 2nd mile of this tempo run was at 7:57 pace. Needless to say I am quite happy that I seem to be getting faster. Time will tell where I will end up.
