"Thank you for all of your great support, energy and intellect! It's a great program and I have been recommending it to friends. I ran eight miles and it was tough. I had my head phones on and so I wasn't listening to myself breathe. Once I took them off it got easier. You are right when you say… “runners should tune into their bodies, not out”. So… no more headphones for me!"
