That sounds like a lot of willpower, keep it up! Just be careful, though - I increased my running performance in a comparable fashion and have gotten a myocarditis out of it. I got the infection from a cold I didn't even felt like having (no coughing, no running nose etc) and now part of my heart muscle isn't working and some valves are not closing completely anymore. My performance has been down to 40% of what I had before (yet I'm thankful theres something left) and I'm constantly tired, cold and will probably be subject to future heart problems. From what I know now, I should have stopped after the marathon or half marathon, for the sake of my family and me. Just be very careful with your health! Good luck for future events.
