I finally quit smoking

[pornrex]

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update.

Things are still going a-ok for me, even though I'm not constantly writing about it. I'm finding that I've settled into a bit of a groove now with the whole thing and boy oh boy can I smell it on other people. Yikes! It makes me wonder just how awful I must have smelled when I was smoking. I don't even want to think about it.
The running/jogging is taking time though, which is what I expected. Being as how I'm not a "spring chicken" anymore the whole recovery period is a little tough on me for now. I'll let you know how that's coming along.

I'm looking for tips from seasoned runners/joggers. Anything that could make shin splints 'disappear' completely plus tips on how to improve daily, weekly and so on.

WTG Lisa...keep it up. I found that once I started doing the opposite of smoking the results spoke for themselves and now I would not even consider ever going back. But try to train your mind to not think survival. It sounds so submissive to smoking. Your character is much stronger than that. Train your mind to believe that you can do this and you will!
