Starting a Clean Slate
It is a canvas.
- to record my results.
- to plan the week.
- to scribble or erase.
- to highlight with bright colors.
- to anoint with coffee or happy face stickers.
Jeff Galloway praises note taking. He suggests a journal can reward you with that pleasing sense of completion.
In one of his recent books he dedicated a whole chapter to it. “Your Journal Will Inspire You.”
I know online logs are paramount for storing and recovering data. I’m currently using Breaking the Tape. But a durable piece of paper and trusty pen are like having an open track – anything is possible!
Leonardo da Vinci had over 7000 pages of notes he gleamed from everyday activities.

I'm good with the record keeping (on my own weblog and on dailymile.com, but the planning? That's what I need to start, especially as I toy with the idea of doing some longer races. Thanks for the encouragement!
I keep my schedule on the fridge. I like the idea of using different colors and stickers. I definitely believe in keeping all old logs and schedules-- my old running logs feel like diaries, even if each day might only have a sentence or two.
Thanks for your comments : )
