If you're interested, here is an article I wrote about my own running journals. It is from 2011...I need to add 2012, 2013 mileage soon!
Wednesday, January 25, 2012: Growing up I didn't have a pink diary with a "gold" lock. Instead I played soccer, ran with my neighborhood friends in the backyard and in general stayed as covered in mud as possible. I didn't record my younger years on paper because kid years are all about having fun and having no responsibilities. My dad taught me how to ride my purple Schwinn which resulted in only three fat lips. My mom taught me to press butter cookies every holiday season. What was there to write about, really?
In high school, I entered the world of distance running via the cross country team at Sunset High School. At practice one day our coach suggested writing down our daily workouts, including mileage, the route, and how we were feeling. I listened to him and have kept a journal of my miles since 1990.
Besides the miles listed below, my running logs provide a personal history. These journals show how my love for running isn't just a love: running has carried me through thick and thin and has allowed me to grow mentally, emotionally and physically in ways I never thought were possible. I feel fortunate to have found something in life that creates those rare feelings of devotion, respect, and love. Running will always be there for me just as I will always put one foot in front of another and devote myself to the development of successful running in others. I will respect running for what it is and will love running even on the days when most people would think I am nuts for being out there.
Here is a list of my total yearly mileage & personal records set in that year:
1990 - 1041.6 miles - 800 meter best - 2:26.2 3k XC best - 10:51
