I'm on day 26 - and figured I could breathe well enough to get running again - I started 2 years ago (after I quit for the 1st time and lasted 2-1/2 years). I did 4k on the treadmill at a fairly slow pace, but I'm sure I can work my speed back up again - there's an extra 15 pounds running with me right now, so I've got to work on getting rid of that. I still can't wait to get outdoors (it's really humid today, and I didn't want to get too far from home in case I didn't make it). It felt great!!!!!!! I wonder if I'll be able to move tomorrow? sushik [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/31/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 26 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 663 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $234 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Hi Coben - thanks for the disclaimer! Before my *ahem* relapse last summer, I was running up to 40k per week (max 10k's at a time). I have NO IDEA what possessed me to start smoking again after 2-1/2 years. It wasn't even during major crisis (that had mostly passed) - it was when things were relatively quiet - I guess my guard was down. So no matter how many gazillions of days I go, I must always be vigilent. It was a good lesson. Starting to run again now is VERY important - it's another one of the major tools that's going to keep me in check! Thanks! sushik [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/31/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 26 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 674 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $234 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

Ex-Slave - no equipment is required for walking and/or running. You just need a road, sidewalk or trail and decent shoes. That's one of the things I love about running - as long as it's daylight (I live somewhat in the country) and not serious mosquito-season, you can do it anywhere, anytime. However, since I'm from Canada, I do have my limits, and use the treadmill when it's colder than -2C. With the wind chill! The hardest part of exercising is putting on your running shoes! sushik [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/31/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 26 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 671 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $234 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

Hi Sushik, Unless you are used to this type of exercise (please consult with your doctor before starting any tpye of exercise program) -Coben disclaimer there -- take it easy. I am up to 2 miles a day and my calf muscles still get sore, but I also walk the stairs at work and walk on lunch hour. At the beginning it's hard to hold yourself back because you're feeling so good - then again, maybe you're younger than me :gasp: Either way, be safe in your exercise program and ENJOY! 26 days is awesome!!!
