New Log

It is June which means it’s time for a new running log.

I started my first log in June 2015. I was sixteen years old. The first running log I had was a red spiral notebook I bought from Shopko. I think I paid a dollar for it. Everyday since then, I have written about my training and a brief weather forecast in a spiral notebook. Each log starts in early June and lasts one year. 

For the past several log books, I have decorated the cover with an illustration, usually inspired by a certain artist or an album.

Here’s the cover artwork for the new log, “Running Log Eleven”:

I will award the brass figlagee with bronze oak leaf palm to anyone who can name the artist who inspired this design.

Here are some log covers from previous years:

Running Log Ten - Inspiration: Grandma's Marathon

Running Log Nine - Inspiration: The Beach Boys Smiley Smile Album. Probably not their best album, but definitely one of their better album covers.

Running Log Eight - Inspiration: The Fifties

Running Log Seven - Inspiration: The Uffington White Horse/XTC's English Settlement Album

Running Log Six - Inspiration: Frank Shorter Running Gear Logo
