Thank you Babs - you are evidence that my philosophy could continue to work after my 30's.

    So I’m reviving this topic for a hot minute. Ran 4 miles outside today.  Finally some nice weather.  I missed running around the lake.  Good for the soul.

  • I can't believe how much I was running!!! I was doing that along with 5 days a week for an hour of intense workouts   Here I think I am doing great at 3 days a week     I did

Oh man. I want to be a runner again. I ran about 2 blocks yesterday and thought my lungs would explode. :( why did I smoke for so long?!?!? Ughhhh

I felt the same way when I started running again (after MANY years)...try  this program   my wife was a never runner, and now is more "into it" than I am...(I am 53 she is 58)

Thanks Joe! That looks like a good program!

I love running too!  But I think I love it BECAUSE I take breaks from it...and then when I go back...it's like...."WOW, THIS IS FANTASTIC!!"

6.25 miles today. Next stop 10k. (If I can still walk tomorrow that is...)

 

Mind over matter!!!

You got it.

I forgot to turn on my mapmyrun until 11 mins in, so I think tonight I actually ran 7.5 miles.

It was soooo hot.

But woo hoo!

Ran 6 miles after a few weeks off (due to injured right hip).

Again hoping my theory of "exercising through the injury" has some basis in some theory of something.

Tonight my run was the only way I could see getting through tonight (without obsessively ruminating on my night @ work or going out for a pack of smokes).

Life saver it is.

I <3 Running.

After all i decide to quit.. i just listing down the triggers that get me to cig's because then only i can avoid those triggers. And the next thing is to list the things that keeps me busy

 

First one is running or atleast fast walk on that list...now goes for a run everyday except sunday. It keeps me brisk enough to not think on cig

I would say that running has turned into a very important part of my life as a non smoker. There is nothing quite like it. Keep it up!

I would say I agree!  I have a love/hate relationship with running.  sometimes I hate it...especially when I first start...but by the end of my run..I love it!!

Sarge just has a hate/hate arrangement.

 

He hates it. Totally.

 

But he must run.

 

He must ... or he's a fat, overweight, arthritic, hypertensive, high cholesterol, borderline diabetic, smoker.

 

If he does not run, he becomes, once again, all of those (and worse).

 

So ... Sarge must run, and run he does.

 

Run, Sarge, run.

Sarge runs to TX and back.

At least once a month, right?

I ran for 30 min tonight but I had such bad PMS cramps I thought I was gonna throw up on the treadmill. So not a long workout.

  • Author

I don't have a treadmill and I quit the gym  (not my morning gym..but the one I used as a supplement  lol)

 

so...I have to wait till there's no ice on the road to resume running outside  :(

 

Miss running!

  • 2 weeks later...

I wish I can run :( it is too cold/icy out and treadmill running makes me want to poke my eyes out with a dull fork.......it is supposed to be in the 40s on saturday so maybe I will run then

I walked outside today. The weather is not too hot.
