When I started running last March, I never expected that I would continue with it. I did the Couch to 5K plan to prove to myself that I could complete something that was completely out of my comfort zone.
Back then, I ran in ancient (AKA gross) sneakers with no knowledge of pace or technique. I just got on a treadmill three days a week and followed the plan. When my first 5K race rolled around, I did it and enjoyed it but not enough to keep track of how many miles I was running.
Now, 10 months later, I have 5 races under my belt and my cardio of choice is running. Though I’m not exactly speedy or particularly great at it, I have come to (mostly) enjoy it. Do I get up at 5 am and pound out 7 miles every morning? Well, no, not yet. But maybe someday.
This year I am adding a resolution to my list. I want to log my miles and maybe even have a goal mileage in mind. But since dance will take over my life once again very soon, I don’t need to resolve to run any crazy number… just enough for me.
I want to know: Do you log your miles? What’s your mileage goal for 2012?

I log my miles on daily mile. When I first started training for races I just wanted to be able to write down my plan somewhere after I ran, and now it’s just a habit. But I love the fun little stats it gives you too.
I use an a old school paper diary. I don’t have a mileage aim… just get faster and stay uninjured!
I don’t log my miles, though sometimes when I see a blogger who talks about their monthly, weekly or yearly total and I get a little twitch to know what my numbers are. But I try to stay away from keeping track so that I don’t get obsessed with numbers and over-train. Still I’d love to know how far I’ve run in a year.
