@ross The only problem would be choosing. I’ve quit and restarted so many times now, I’ve actually lost track of how many times I’ve quit.

It’s one of the three stupidest things I’ve ever done.

@ross Yeah, kicking the smokes ain’t easy. This is nth time I’ve tried to quit in about 5 years. I’m still on the patches, though, so even though I’m not smoking I’m still an addict!

@david I haven’t been using it, but I’m going to download the docs and give it a go when I go running today.

@stephen Pretty incredible. I don’t know why I started smoking again. It’s one of the three stupidest things I’ve ever done.

Amazing what regular exercise will do for you! As for smoking, I have been off them for over one year now. I can’t imagine *being* a smoker now. Best thing (besides the health benefit) is my sense of taste and smell are much better.

are you using your heartrate monitor? I bet your actual resting heartrate is lower than that - test it when you first wake up in the morning … the next thing to do is a VO2 max test - that’s fun hurt!

congrats on the 5K!!!

Go Jeff! Kicking the smokes is hard - I know it took me over 5 years to get to the position where I hadn’t smoked in a year!

Now if I can follow your lead and start exercising again …
