Today is January 16th and so far this year I've only ran twice. The first run of the year was on January 1st. I had just run the day before and had a good run, I wanted to end the year on a high note. 2015 wasn't always good to me. But I felt I needed to end the year the way I started by going out for a run. I ran a 1/2 mile without stopping! That is huge for me. But I digress...January 1st was an overcast day and a bit chilly. I ended up running for .52 miles without stopping and then walked the rest of the time. The air was just to cold and my lungs were not happy. But I was happy to be improving!
Below is a picture of my running log. I note the weather, what time I went out, what route I took, and my weight. Next I log my distance and pace. I use MapMyRun app to keep track of my workouts but then I transfer the information into my log so that I can look back and see how I did on certain days and compare. This helps me when I wonder if I am making any improvements. I have also started logging how I feel and any other notes on what is going on.
Crazy to have the whole track to myself. It was very peaceful and wonderful to clear the mind.
