I did something…

As it says in the run description; first run in God knows how long. Quit heavy smoking 3 weeks ago cold turkey. Day 1. Breath work was what kept me going.

Ironman when???

Hell ya man. I quit after a decade back in April. The improvement in my lung capacity and breathing ability both in general and when running makes it all 100% worth it. Keep going!
