    Besides using Bike Journal to keep track of cycling, I use an old-fashioned, low-tech method for other workouts--I write them down with actual pen and paper. I use a small Moleskine notebook (pocket-size, unruled) and use a page per day. For strength workouts, I've printed out my routines from a Word table and pasted them into the notebook so I can take it to the gym with me and make notes about sets, reps, and weight as well as how I'm feeling.

    I'm reasonably computer literate but there's something very satisfying to me about writing my workouts in a physical log. Also, I have room to get all artistic about it if the urge strikes me to add some sketching, a photo, or even a quoted phrase from time to time. Since there's no loop for a pen or pencil, I had to make my own by wrapping the cover with duct tape to make a sort of pen quiver. I don't know what I'd do without these little notebooks.

    What's your handle?

    For those who use beginnertriathlete.com and keep their logs public, do you want to share your handle so I can make you my buddies?

    I use the same handle there, too.

    Nope, not a paying member. If/when I move up to olympic distance, I would probably get the membership.

    You can add buddies to watch their training logs and leave little notes for them. Maybe this is my MySpace thing 'cause I never got into that.

    I left ya' an "inspire" in your log. These are basically just comments other people put on your logs. You'll see if you go to your training log the number of inspires in red above each day. You read them by clicking where it says "inspire me."

    Waaaay too addicting.

    I added you too and left you an inspire! To respond to it, you have to go to my Log and add an inspire there... otherwise, I won't know you replied... but you don't have to reply.
