Summary
Struggling to get active and/or lose weight? Jodi Danen shares how she shifted from never exercising (aka "the couch") to running a 5K and eventually a marathon. As a result Jodi feels better, eats better and has more confidence. Jodi shares some great nuggets of inspiration, including that the greatest courage isn't finishing, it's starting. She challenges everyone listening to run their own 5K simply by starting with baby steps.
