Myrunning log5/12/2023 When I started, and for most of the first 4+ months, I was creating a specific entry in the running journal for every run. I’ve also stopped creating a journal entry every time I run. The highlights can be something running related, though it doesn’t have to be, but the goal is for the highlight to help me to stay more in the moment and really experience my run more fully. I know make sure to record the time of day that I’m running.Īnd at the suggestion of Teal Burrell, I’ve also made a point to try and identify a highlight from each run. Having a structure to follow for each entry in my running journal has definitely helped, but over the past few months the structure has changed slightly. I decided on a list of bullets/topics/writing prompts that I was going to include with each entry from that point on: ![]() I figured if I made it a bit more formulaic, not only would I be “forced” to provide more insight from each run but it would also be a little easier to write than the free form journaling that I had been doing to that point. Instead of giving up completely, I decided to try coming up with a bit more of a structured layout for my journaling. It almost became more of a pain in the ass than it seemed to be worth. I Needed a Structureīy mid-March, regularly writing in my running journal was starting to feel tedious. Somedays I’d fill close to a page, others it would be little more than a sentence.īut if I was going to keep a running journal, then by God every run I did was going to be recorded and documented so that I’d be able to reference if needed. I’d put the date and the number of miles I ran that day, and then I’d just write about my run. Just room for me to write whatever I wanted about that particular run.Īnd that is pretty much what I did for the first few months of my journaling. It is simply a notebook full of blank pages.
