As one of my New Year's Resolutions, I decided to start running a 5K (almost) every day, and see how low I could get my 5K time.  I don't have a specific end goal per se, although if I get down low enough, I may try to run a competitive 5K at some point.  I'm not doing this only to #humblebrag, but also in the hopes that it might inspire other people to follow through on their resolutions.  So far, I've gone down from 30:44 to 24:33 in about 2 and a half weeks.  I won't be able to keep up that pace of course; it's already getting way harder to shave off time.  I started at about a 10 minute mile and I'm down to slightly under an 8 minute mile.  I think it's realistic to get down under 7 minute miles at some point, and I have hopes of making it under 6 minutes some day.  That might be as good as I can do though; I don't quite have the build for a speed runner!  But for the moment, it's a good daily challenge.
