I have 3 months and two days! I smoked for 30 years. I started a running program shortly after quitting and I’m up to 25 minute runs, around two miles, not a problem. It feels like a miracle. I can’t count the health benefits. I’m happy to name them if anyone asks.

It’s been a tough work week and I just really wanted some nice wine. This is so stupid, but I’m also watching this Spanish drama where beautiful people are drinking wine and smoking so casually but also running and very fit of course and it’s fucking with me like “maybe I CAN have it all”. Because I did when I was younger but I can’t now. It was fun but please remind me that I can’t now and it’s over and that’s just how it is!

Solo female and would like to do a nice flat run some mornings before work, right around sunrise. The loop around the lake seems so open and there are so many people usually. Does anyone know if there are other runners and walkers at this time of day during the week?
