Running logs

A minimum running log should have the following items:
Date
Time
Weather condition
Workout:  mileage, course, miles, and interval splits or total time for distance runs
Total mileage should be kept for each week and each month
A record of ailments: ongoing and those that are unique for each workout
How you feel about the workout.

Additional items that may be included in your running log include:
Weight: starting and ending - very important during hot weather
Shoes - to monitor the mileage that your shoes accumulate
Hours of sleep the night before the workout - track weekly accumulation
Resting heartbeat upon awakening - helps to monitor fatigue
Girls: keep track of your cycle

If you keep your running log in an electronic format, then use a spreadsheet,
A spreadsheet will allow you to keep track of the totals properly.
I would suggest that Monday is the start day for your weekly log.
