My #HotChocolate15K Training Journal:
​
​A Practice in Running and Watercolors

I combined my Tampa Hot Chocolate 15K training log with a watercolor sketchbook practice. The race was in Tampa on Sunday, December 19, 2021. I took 12 weeks to train for the race and to practice painting.

You can click any image or title below to see all the pages for a single week. After 12 weeks, I hope my training sketchbook reveals improvements in both running and watercoloring.
