Seems like I am having difficulty logging here in the blog. I will try to do better, but not today.
Things are going well, still not smoking, running is getting easier and I am already trying to think about running after the C25K plan.

Progress. Step down to 7mg / Next Run Today.
Posted in Road 2 Healthy, tagged C25K, patch, smoking on August 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I tried out the 7mg patch and felt fine. Today I had a few cravings but still not smoking. There is too much at stake. So I’m still good.
Today I am running again. I wish I did over the weekend but because of personal obligations it just didn’t happen. Since joining the gym I [...]
Change Of Plans

You take one day off and then two, three comes around quickly. Before you know it you are back on the couch. I cannot explain why I wasn’t running, I wanted to, I had the drive all day, but as the evening went on I became the same lazy person I once was, and I [...]
One month not smoking!

Today is one month to the day since I quit smoking. Last night I played in a Hold’em tournament and the cigars and cigs were lighting up all over. I probably got more second hand smoke than if I would have had a few myself. I wasn’t even tempted, I didn’t care, I am now [...]

I almost didn’t go running last night. The wife was watching the last few episodes of Charmed and I couldn’t pull myself away. Funny thing is once she put the Olympics on I jumped out and got out. You would think…? Never-mind.
11:20pm – 65F – Almost full moon.
I started my usual walk around the .5 [...]
C25K Week 1 Day 1
Posted in C25K, tagged C25K, running, week 1 on August 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last night at 11:00pm I laced up my sneakers, slapped on a watch, grabbed my MP3 player with the DJ Beatsmith Podrunning interval training podcasts, and headed out of the house to start my C25K plan. I finally overcame one of my fears, what other will think if they see me running. Granted, going at [...]
Shortness of Breath – Symptom of Quitting Smoking?
Posted in Road 2 Healthy, tagged quit smoking, race, running, short of breath, smoking, symptom on August 12, 2008 | 6 Comments »
As I mentioned I have been having some weird shortness of breath lately, since about when I went the 14mg patches. It got the best of me and stopped me from running or walking the past few days. Yesterday I called my new doctor and he happened to have an opening this Wednesday so I [...]
Nothing goes as planned, if no plan is in place.

It is about three weeks after my change of lifestyle and I have yet to seriously start running. All those good intentions have yet to take form. My goal is to run 5K in 30 minutes or less by my birthday (October 12th). If I follow the C25K plan I still have a chance. Last [...]
Other Ways To Keep Active

The past few days I have found it rather difficult to get out and run/walk or anything. However, I did notice I was still active. This got me thinking a bit. What are the other ways I can keep active even if I do not run, walk or bike. Here is my list, I will [...]
Woke up Late!

For the first time in over a week I woke up after 5:30am. I was set to get a documented official start to my running plan and slept right through the entire thing. So now, as punishment, I have to run at night. It’s scarry out there in the park in the dark. At least [...]
