2 Songs

The 10-day You Challenge is almost done!  It has been an interesting challenge.  I learned a lot about myself and it was good to share with others, too!

Today the challenge is two songs.  I don’t really have a favorite song.  Like books and movies, listening to music is a passion and so there are lots of different genres of music that I like and picking only two songs would be impossible.  Therefore, I chose to pick two songs that I think will be my favorites this summer:

1.  Sing by Ed Sheeran

Every time this song comes on the radio, I crank it up!  Love it!

2.  A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay

This is one of those songs that makes me feel like I can do anything!

Speaking of doing anything, I started my official first day of half-marathon training yesterday and it was a great running day!  I did an “easy” 3-mile run.  Okay, first of all, saying “easy” and “3-mile run” in the same sentence still blows my mind.  I can remember when 3 miles felt like the equivalent of a marathon!  And even though I was supposed to do the run at an easy pace, I was feeling really good and ended up running my fastest 3 miles yet – 34:19, with 11:04 being my fastest mile.  My speed is improving!  I still feel like I run like a turtle, but I continue to improve.  I also find myself using terms, like “PR’d” and pace, and I wear a watch now when I run to keep track of my pace times.  My virtual running partner is teaching me about hill training and repeats.   I honestly feel like a runner now.  It’s so exciting!

The last day of the challenge will be to post a photo of myself.  There’s a photo that I’m thinking of posting, but I’m a bit nervous.  I would seriously be putting myself out there, and it’s very scary.  (NO, I won’t be nude – LOL)  Stay tuned; hopefully I won’t chicken out!
