- “I’m training for a 5k/10k/half-marathon/marathon” sounds really cool.
- You don’t have to think…everything you need is already spelled out for you.
- You can use an excel spreadsheet (happy sigh) and color code it for each time of training run (NERD ALERT!).
- If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. ~Lawrence J. Peter
- Have you ever gone to the grocery store without a list and you bought everything on the shelves even if you didn’t need it? Wait. That probably doesn’t apply here. Except for the fact that it’s another example where having a plan would’ve helped. Beyond that, I can’t make a connection. Bonus points to you if you’re able to.
- Have you ever tried to put together a bicycle or something similar without the instructions? IMPOSSIBLE! (Yeah, this one’s closer to what I mean. Make the leap people, please don’t make me type it all out).
- If you stray from the plan, it can be used in place of a kleenex to wipe your tears when you don’t meet your goal.
- It makes an awesome background paper if you decide to scrapbook your race.
- It’s very satisfying to cross off each run as you accomplish it. It’s a great countdown, too…kind of like the adult version of a paper chain.
- It’s just plain smart. When you have a race on your calendar, it’s not a good idea to just wing it. (Think: injury, boredom, unprepared…)
