The breakdown and progression of PDBD made running feel attainable and not overwhelming. The end goal wasn’t to run a 5k. It was to train your body, meet mini goals, and build endurance and confidence. I have never felt so proud as the first time I ran 5 mins without stopping ... .yes, I couldn’t even run for 5 mins straight before the beginning of PDBD. -- Molly Wright, Owner of S.L.A.M. - Sweat Like A Mother, Columbus
