Notes
with Maddie-took off the HR strap because I didn't want to be tempted with looking at my watch. Experimented with my breath. For about 15 min, I did an even/odd pattern but with really deep belly breaths on the inhale so it was 4 steps on an inhale and 5 on exhale. Then I got tired of counting! I just let my breath return to its natural rhythm and I noticed it was shallower. Then I noticed that my mouth was closed so I practiced inhaling with both my mouth and nose like Coach Neely talked about in her article.
