The Athlete's Diary is good, especially if you want to carry your sched on your Palm.
If you're looking for free, I can recommend two. One old-school but works great, and one new-style.
David Hays' runlog, as adapted by our friend WA5YOM is merely an Excel spreadsheet, but a very, very fine one with lots of great bells and whistles.
I use SportTracks, which plays very nicely with the Garmin unit but which would be an outstanding tracking tool even without all the mapping features.
Rode into work. The bike feels nice and tight after its tuneup. I was ambling along, congratulating myself for getting up and over a road bridge without coming out of my saddle, when
whiz!, a Boomer God flies by me, going up hill, like I was standing still.
Well, we can't have that, can we?
So I drafted him down the hill and along the flats, and caught and passed him on a straightaway. And down the trail we spun, rolling in and out of the lead. I haven't had so much fun in a very, very long time.
We eventually had to slow on a gravel stretch, and he asked me whether I take the long way home in the evenings - why, yes, I do - and he suggested that maybe I might enjoy riding the waterfront with his group some evening.
I don't know whether I just got picked up for being fast or for being cute, but I'll take either ego-boost.
I'm supposed to run at lunch, but feel achy in the shins, so I might bag it, and take a Very Long Way home on the bike instead tonight.
