I love this Wendy! I’ll definitely b showing it to my hard core running mums- it’s reassuring and hearing from a professional runner that’s it’s ok not to run for a while will help these girls psychologically! Thanks Jen and Wendy xxx

Thanks for sharing! And I agree, my favorite part is Wendy too! I cried when I watched the intro video because I felt like someone finally understood and was guiding the way on a tough journey with such ease and gentleness.
