This is my favorite running log. It's pre-dated for the year and has plenty of room for information. It also has motivating quotes on each week, as well as great running tips and pictures. Try it! You won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best There Is, November 9, 2006

This review is from: The Complete Runner's Day-by-Day Log and Calendar 2007 (Spiral-bound)

I purchased the first Runner's Day-by-Day Log published in 1979. I have purchased each one since, and have kept them all organized in three neat stacks. A fourth will have to be started. The best part of the Log is the room it leaves each day for writing about your runs. Plus, I like the page at the back where you can summarize all your races. The picture of a runner's legs on the front cover are the legs of the original author, Jim Fixx. His legs have been on each cover since 1979. If I have a complaint it would be that they make you start your calendar of running on January 1. In the 1984 Log they started publishing a 15-month calendar beginning on October 1. This was perfect for me because I started my Log entries on November 7, 1979. In 1993, to save publishing costs I gather, they reverted back to a 12-month calendar beginning on January 1. It's a niggling complaint though; one of those "it was better back then" laments.
