Been over a month and goin strong kids...

Well, it finally feels good to be a non-smoker. Granted some of you(the few that even know I have a blog) have seen me cheat once or twice, but it is amazing how much better I feel now that I do not smoke. I have logged about 17 miles running this week, and had it not been for a bum ankle, probably would have been more. Now I did gain a few after quitting. I went from 180 to 194. However, alot of that (hopefully) is muscle since JP and I have been lifting. I have trimmed down to 189, but my goal by Christmas is to be back to 180, then eventually as slim 175...but we will see. Every Saturday morning, Dhope, Dodd, and I are making the trail run a ritual. Now I am no long run guy like thier 20 they did this weekend, but I think I am gonna start seriously training for a half marathon. Last week I ran a total of 5 days, running 3miles 3 days, and 4 miles 2 days. Thats the beginning. It Won't be to tough with the support system of D and D, but we will see.
