Over the weekend I pulled together some photos from my New York City Marathon training runs to update my minibook. I liked working on a few pages/weeks at a time so I'll probably be updating this minibook once a month. I shared the base of my minibook here.
I found some affordable inkjet transparency pages to execute this idea I had. I really wanted to write my workouts on a clear sheet of transparency and insert it between each of the 18 weeks. It worked out just how I wanted it to work out. Love when that happens.
I kept my photos consistent by making them all squares. Some weeks, like the one above, I had a bunch of photos so I made a grid in Photoshop. I'm sticking to a color sheme of blue, orange and gray with my paper and embellishments to keep all the different weeks cohesive.
Each Monday I'll be sharing a running/training related post until the race. It might be running specific, or a Project Life insert, or even just a round up of cute Lulu clothes that I want to buy for myself. Follow along here.
OooOo I love this!!! Awesome, awesome mini and so inspiring.

Im loving this mini book so much - I love seeing how it is progressing. I've just started a 12 week challenge at my gym and have used your book as inspiration to create my own version to record my progress and weekly sessions. I found some old vellum and used that instead of transparencies and just using up random papers i have lying around as I don't do 12x12 pages anymore. Loving combining the fitness and creative sides of my life. Good luck with the rest of your training
