that's awesome Mike. your diligence with the logging and practice sessions is pretty admirable.
i'm actually in a very similar situation. i was decent but not award winning fast in HS (2:01 800 in track, 18 minute 5k in XC) and once i got to college i just let it go and wasted away the muscle i built in training. i'm disgusted with my condition and have been working to get back into shape and to be able to have FUN running again instead of looking at it as something to endure until its over because i'm so out of shape.
i did a 5k fun run earlier this year in something like 21 minutes...i was demolished when i was done and it was pretty sobering. but it made me want to keep it up.
good thread, this makes me want to get it together even more.
