I don't know!! I started with no number and that was taken then tried some random numbers. For some reason, I preferred 2 to 1 so not even sure if it's taken!

Lol CP2, there are many people here on C25K who call themselves couchpopatoes but once they get graduate are no longer COUCHPOTATOES, ๐Ÿ˜Š once you graduate ๐ŸŽ“change your username to "COUCHPOTATO2NOMORE" ๐Ÿ˜Š

Interesting. I find running helps me mentally. It gave me a sense of achievement and hope after physical illness had knocked my confidence ๐Ÿ˜Š

I havn't even thought about my anxiety this week and only realised it after my friend sent me the article. I've tried to encourage some local friends that suffer to run too but not had any reaction yet. I suppose it might have registered with them and one day they might try it. I believe they think running is not for them. I wish they could read this forum!
