I haven't logged on to this site in quite some time. That's just how I am with message boards in general. I typically post for a while and then stop for a while. But I wanted to share a milestone that I just hit this past weekend. I ran an entire 5k without walking any of it for the first time in almost 20 years! I had previously attempted running a 5k while smoking but was never able to run the entire thing while I was still smoking and know that switching to vaping greatly helped in being able to complete the run without having to walk. I truly didn't realize how much smoking had been holding me back prior to this. My time wasn't great, but I didn't train all that much for this run and I met my goal of running the entire thing. Next up is to break a 10 min mile and then start working towards a 10k and maybe even a half marathon.

Thanks everyone. When I started vaping just over a year ago I never thought I would get to this point. It def wasn't easy to make the switch. My hope is that maybe someone struggling with making the switch will see this and see that it is possible to not only kick the cigs, but also realize that they can get back something that they loved doing which smoking took away.
