Week 2: Hot Chocolate 15K Training and Watercolor Sketchbooking

Week Two is done. That means the Hot Chocolate 15K/5K in Tampa on Dec. 19 is less than 10 weeks away! 

I’m having so much fun being accountable via my sketchbook. Translating my runs into watercolors is super soothing. 

​This week's workouts were tough, but satisfying. I’m finding lots of parallels between running and learning to watercolor. I feel like I'm off to a good start — but have lots of work to do!

Sketching My Future Hot Chocolate Race SWAG

Updated Mileage and Shoe Tracker for Week 2
