Me crossing the start line

This is why I haven’t smoked in 3 months!  Yes, it’s been 3 months as of August 15th!  I feel absolutely phenomenal.  I don’t want to smoke ever again.  Some people ask me how I did it.  All I have to say is motivation and the will power to want better for myself.  I want to be a stronger athlete, a stronger runner, and a stronger person.  I am a firm believer in the statement, “when there’s a will, there’s a way!”  I do feel much better and am able to run faster and longer than I ever had before.  I can tell you that it has all been worth it!
