W4R1, smashed it!

I'm doing this! W4R1 and it felt great. Breathing feels strong and doable; calves slightly achy but ankle getting stronger every week. Every run makes me happy and lifts any lingering depression or sense of being overwhelmed with work/family. I can't believe I'm thinking this but I look forward to run days!
