Easy run. Average pace: 10:03.

Weather at 5:30 am: 25°F, 52% humidity, wind 6 SSW. The warm air we've had the past few days has blown out of here. At least wind went with it.

Not quite two years ago when I started running, I got a small notebook and started writing down my workouts. Even after I started this blog, I've continued to record each workout in the notebook. I normally fill 2-3 lines per workout. Well, yesterday I used up the last 2 lines in the notebook. I will now retire the notebook since I am keeping this blog, as well as a spreadsheet, and data from my Garmin. Looking back, my first entry was on May 9, 2007, and that day I ran/walked 2.84 miles in 41 minutes. I've come a long way since then.

I've got a crazy fartlek + progression long run tomorrow.

Glad you can look back on your first running entry and see the improvements you have made since 2007! Impressive!

That is so cool that you keep a personal log too. I also keep another spreadsheet with details and notes. I know it is redundant, but I like the idea have something that is just own too and not public.

Nice workout. I'm looking forward to the day when 10+ miles is an 'easy' day.

Congratulations on filling up the book! I still keep a paper log, and I just love to read through the old pages. I'm just finishing up my 3rd book. The first one is a riot. "Ran for 4 minutes straight today!" I started with walk breaks, so the improvement is pretty dramatic.

Have a great weekend.

Great run today! I agree with Jun, can't wait til ten miles is easy. It's better then it was but definately not easy.

Journals are a great way to see how much we have accomplished. It's always good to see our progress... way to go!
