Week 2 has begun

[Cuig1975]

Hey all

It was a beautiful day I did run and was doubting myself 10 mins in , kept going and finished before I knew it , bring on Saturday while it's hard at times it's such a feeling when it's complete .... Better than cigs!!

I'm guessing you have given up the fags? Well done - you get a real healthy buzz after a run don't you. Keep it going and keep us up to date

Yes 3 weeks off them and ain't going back to them , lots of things to focus on now , reward myself with an album download to listen to when I'm running

Well done on kicking them Cuig1975

Sounds like we're on a similar journey. I quit the fags 53 days ago and started c25k that same night. Ive just completed week 8 run 3 tonight - 28 minutes non stop, which I wouldn't have believed a few weeks ago. Im loving this feeling and can really recommend c25k for any ex smokers. Please stick with it, do it for yourself and I promise it's worth it. Best of luck my friend 😀

Thanks for that lots of support here, nice to hear how well you've done too , fags were a killer can't understand how I didn't kick habit sooner , I feel so good after only 3 weeks I've the odd craving but certainly manageable

Well done ! Quitting the fags and starting this programme are two of the best decisions I've ever made

Graduation week for you next week MrBob . Good Luck ! xxx

Well done for packing the fags in , it's tough but oh so worth it ! I packed in 4 years ago after smoking 30 a day for over 30 years and started this programme over two years ago .

You're doing great , keep going ! xxx
