Re: Giving up Smoking
I smoked around fifteen fags a day for over thirty five years, I left many non-smokers behind on marathons and fell races. Ciggies tasted great after a run and then in 2004 after running a regular 13 mile route I stubbed out my last cigarette and had a Heart Attack......That certainly brought me back down to earth and I never smoked again, still running though.You just don't know the damage it causes inside.....
I had tried, unsuccessfully, to stop smoking many times before my Heart Attack, but I've never given it a second thought from that unfortunate day in 2004 to this. Something about being a smoker just seems to have switched off and I don't miss it one bit. It's like I never was a smoker.....
It's nice not to have to carry cigs and lighter around with me everywhere I go, but they've been replaced with spectacles, mobile phone and bus pass....

I thought you ran everywhere you went Or is the bus pass just to prove you are a pensioner?

A bus pass also opens up some interesting running courses by taking me several miles from home and then running back...For free..
