Revived 2013 running log

January 4th, 2026

It was the fall of 2013, and I had just returned to SCAD after temporarily dropping out. (More on that here). Missing school meant that I was ineligible to compete that cross country season so instead I put my head down and trained.

During that time, I was playing with code and made a simple one pager to document my training heading into the track season. (This was before I had a Strava or even a GPS watch.)

I only managed to document 8.5 weeks from November to January, but it’s nice to look back on. This is the time period where my buddy Manny (Emanuel) and I started to become best friends, and really lock in on our training together. We pretty much did all of our training together from this point on.

Here is the 2013 running log.
