Two graphs depicting the distance run in the past year, split by week and by month. Notice a blip in June (post-Marathon), and in December (finishing thesis), and an almost complete absence since then (post-submission). In fact, if I were to go the same distance in May as December, the last 6 months would still lose to November.

Someone once suggested I was a little obsessive keeping a note of the times I ran my 10ks in.

One does get a little obsessive. Well I didn't go to the extent of recording anything other than distance usually, and any injuries. It's actually very useful to have these notes to look back on to try and work out why injuries occur, or performance is up or down, because it can take quite a number of weeks before effects show up.
