Thank you! Honestly I tried running b4 but failed miserably and was frustrated by it cuz I've always wanted to add running into my life. The only thing that made today a success was my research on breathing methods and my app couch and run + walk approach. I love it!

Yes, I totally could not do this without the app. What breathing techniques have you looked at? I think I could probably do with them!

Well done, itโ€™s hard getting past that mental block!! I made my husband push me out the door when I started, as I knew Iโ€™d give up if it was up to me, and here I am going week 7! You should be really proud of yourself
