Here's my work of art..
Oh, the class was at a restaurant and the waiter convinced my to try fish tacos.. They were super yummy!!! Why have I not tried this fabulous food (oh ya, I don't like fish, lol)?!?

Wednesday- 3.06 miles in 29:39 (1 mile of Fartleks/ Speedwork.. Oh my, this was my first time doing fartleks and they were very tough.. I thought at one point I my die or trip and fall on my face from pure exhaustion, lol.. I was very proud after I did them and I had some great running friends to encourage me to keep going..)
Thursday- 3.04 miles in 28:29 & 1 mile completely unplugged {no music/no runmeter}

So, Goodbye Week 2 and Hello Week 3!!
I'll be back to share my Week 2 w/ you but until then I would love to hear from you..
Do you negative talk to yourself?
Have you stepped out of your comfort zone and tried something new?
Happy Running,
Amanda :0)
WoW, what could be better than running to a craft event?? Your painting is super! And inspirational cards are super fun, gotta love that zebra print! I wouldn't say that a negative talk but I do think about the worst case scenario while I run, like I constantly think about being chased by a dog, someone jumping out of the bushes, getting hit by a car! Crazy thoughts that I cannot get out of my mind! I have started to try to ween myself off of my music and get used to hearing my heavy breathing while I run! It is tough!!
