Hey All, It's been awhile so I thought I'd see who's left, how everyone's doing, welcome anyone new here and just say "hi". 15 months since my last smoke and feeling GREAT! Went for a 17 mile run the other day in preparation for the Disney Marathon in January. I cannot believe I can do that kind of mileage now and never would have imagined doing anything like that 15 months ago. Other than that things are well with me, hope all is good with you. Andy

Hey Andy, It seems like most of our orginal group is gone and we are the last of the mohegans. I think either most of them stopped running or, sadly, went back to smoking. Glad to hear your doing well and good luck on the Disney Marathon! I ran the NYC Marathon a couple of weeks ago. It was a pretty incredible experience with, what I'm told, almost 2 million people out to watch. New Yorkers really get into that race. I always figured NYC was flat being right on the ocean but I figured wrong. lol Tough course. I woke up with a stomach bug and ran the race with a bottle of Maalox and TP so I felt pretty crappy (no pun intended) but was able to complete a 4:46. Not real happy with the time but a great experience. And with it being my first one it was a PR! Get ready for the snow Andy! It's on it's way. I remember how much you enjoyed last winter. lol Patrach, great job on staying smoke free and getting your times down! Your kicking some butt at 8 minute miles. It's pretty amazing what you can accomplish when you put the cigarettes down.
