After quitting smoking 8 weeks ago, after 40 years I decided to do this year's Race for Life. Downloaded the C25K and didn't really expect to survive the first run - I have just done week 4 day 2 - can't quite believe it!

Well done! I'm just a week ahead of you and feel the same! Many congrats on giving up smoking too ... that's quite a feat to have done both!!
Well done on both fronts. That's great, you're half way to your graduation badge. Go for it!

Well done on both fronts! Your race will be fantastic - it's a great way to celebrate the new sport of running, and of quitting smoking.
