Anyone out there have any running shoe suggestions for Long Distance runners.

Get some Sauconys! :-)

Good running lately. How is the no-smoking thing going for you?

Jake,

Hi. Thanks for the running shoes tip.

The no-smoking thing. Well, I am embarrassed to say that I returned to smoking on 7/4/12 (or 7/5/12 - would have to check my notes...maybe the 14th of July). I am still entertaining not smoking...just much less committed to taking the steps to stop. I had made several great attempts I thought. I believe I want to stop...but not a whole lot right now. Not sure if any of this makes any sense. Probably you think it's strange that anyone would continue smoking or start smoking in the first place. Part of me thinks I am going to try again to stop soon. Most people I imagine would say then why not today?...right now just lacking commitment and motivation. I think I need to be sold on the idea that I want to stop and prepare myself to begin that process all over again. Oh by the way, Congratulations on your FIRST PLACE

Jake - I hit enter by accident and the blog note was posted. I was saying Congratulations on your FIRST PLACE win for the TOU Half Marathon today. Great job.

I'm sure its very hard to quit. My uncle, who was just out in Utah visiting me, has been trying for a while now. He went the whole week he was out here w/ me without smoking. He said he was already feeling better after just ~10 days. I know its a tough, uphill battle.

Thanks for the congrats!
