GREAT NEWS!!!

I quit smoking! *applause applause*

Cold turkey. *oooooooohhhh!*

Doing well. *crowd goes wild!!!*

With that, I also started getting serious about going to the gym. I have a new gym buddy, Mike, who lives about 5 minutes away. Of course, there’s also Greg who I go to the gym with every now and then. Well, three times now.

Today, after work, I met with Greg. We had talked about doing an actual outdoor 4-mile run. Being a newbie at running, I asked that Greg bear with me. He agreed and did as he promised. He’s a great guy … and coach! His friend, Mike (with eyeglasses), joined us for the run. He, too, was very supportive. Thanks guys!!!

Oh, before we went running, Greg took me to Forward Motion, a store that specializes in running gears. I needed a new pair of running shoes. Greg told me that the store will help me find the best pair. And they did. They evaluated my walk and gave recommendations on the shoes with the proper support that I needed. I went with the Nike Air Structure Triax 10+. It was the best pair of running shoes I’ve ever had!

Being new to running, out of shape, recovering smokeaholic, I felt great running with the new shoes. In the past, I hated running because it was painful on my knees, ankles, and every part of my legs that I can complain about. There is hope for me! HAHA!

So yeah, I’m on the road to better health. Hopefully, come September 28th, I will be very fit and toned (*crosses fingers*). I will be going to Hawaii with Greg and his parents for a week!!! Wish me luck!
