Today is the first time in my adult life that I actually ran. I walked and ran for about 30 mins with heart rate in the 150-160 ( my resting heart rate is mid 70s). I feel proud and hopeful. Just wanted to share with anyone who is in the process of getting healthier .

    Congratulations! You might want to check out a ‘couch to 5k’ plan which would steadily and safely build you up to being able to run a full 5k without stopping.
