luck Andy. Stopping smoking is one of the achievements I am most proud of. It is so worth it.

Morning :-)

Andy there a re a couple of key points to giving up, the first is to realise that you have an addiction much like an alcoholic, and the second is to want to (not being lectured to or told to) luck

luck AndyJ -you do need a bit of luck as well as genuinely wanting to to stop, it was when I just felt "ought to" that relapses occurred. I feel the same as GM, still chuffed after well over a decade :-)
& Good Morning :-)

Morning :-)
I can't even begin to guess how many miles a streaker would do in that time, Switts medal
Loving the photos - everyone looks like they're having such a blast (waist deep in freezing mud...)
Commiserations on going back to work, Andy :-( but luck for stopping smoking!
*shushes* Seren's cats!

Morning all.

Feel as rough as ever. *Please* let today be the day the doc feels she has all the info to give me some antibiotics!

Seeing all those Hellrunner pics is fun but simply confirms that it will never be in my race portfolio!

OH was a smoker when we met but I made it clear that it was me or the fags. He must have eaten *tons* of Everton mints - the unwrapping gave him something for his hands to do instead of lighting up - until the craving for nicotine abated. Good luck Andy!

About This Thread

Maintained by Merrymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
