I ran 5 miles this morning:

slowest mile: 9:33
Fastest mile: 9:03
Last Half mile: 3:57

a year ago it would have looked like this:
slowest mile: 10:15
fastest mile: 9:40
last half mile: 4:30

I've gotten faster! I credit a few things

* Heart rate monitor - it keeps me honest on my effort level
* Garmin Forerunner 310 - it's a GPS pacer and keeps me attuned to how fast I'm going
* Music on my ipod - always switching it up to keep it interesting
* Willpower/drive
* Train-train-train (distance AND sprint intervals)
