review & giveaway: journal menu training journal

May 6, 2015      14 Comments

This is a sponsored post. I received a complimentary, customized training journal from Journal Menu for my own personal use in exchange for my review. We will also be giving away a custom training journal to one reader. As always, all opinions are my own.

Even though I am a person who works much better with writing things down than keeping track of thing digitally, I somehow never managed to have an actual training journal.

Crazy, I know.

When the good folks at Journal Menu contacted me, I realized that the time had come to rectify the situation.

Erica walked me through the process of selecting the design for my covers, using my own photographs, and then sent me a few proofs, just to make sure everything was perfect.

A little over a week later, I was opening the envelope  containing my new training journal!

Marathon medal on the front…

… and my sweet boy Oscar on the back.

Not only was it excellent quality, with coated covers and a nice spiral binding, but I loved all the details inside: spaces for goals, training plans for different length races with slots to track your own training, inspirational saying and daily blocks to fill in meals, workouts, runs and other notes.

I loved all of the information available, as well as all the different places where I could record my goals and training progress. Definitely a great way to keep myself accountable.

It’s going to be great to have a place for side-by-side comparisons of my training vs a plan for my next half, as well.

The journal is the perfect size to slide into a purse or gym bag, too – great for taking on the go!

It’s great for me to everything written down so I can just take a quick glance and see where I’m at with the challenges I set for myself. For me, it’s incredibly motivating and a great way to keep myself accountable.

    I am currently using the Lauren Fleshman “Believe I Am” training journal, and I really like it! Though this new one seems like it offers many things that my current journal does not.

    Well this would be awesome! I have a plain old boring Mead notebook that I write everything in. It’s nothing cool like this one!

    I have far too many journals in my life, but I love them. I’m trying to build a journal to track my health and haven’t sat down to do so yet. But it’s a black leather one!

    I love these though. I need to get one!

    I currently have a running Log on a spread sheet that I follow. Need a Journal to help track my progress better. I started following Jeff Galloway’s method to help improve my running and follow his running calendar.

    I love journals and have recently thought about recording all my workouts! I used to do it 20 years ago and feel like there’s a sense of satisfaction with writing down a workout… Especially when you’ve crushed it!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
