This may be the only time i stumbled into a beer tent and the bouncer believed me when i told him i had not had a single drink

I didn't seer the bike bar people on the race day...but the first day we were there at the convention center we parked right next to them....i started laughing and had to tell Hanna the story!

Thanks everyone....this was a huge thing for me. Next Marathon i have planned is the Santa Rosa Marathon then this one again. I had a blast and know i can do better if i get a full training period and fucking quit smoking

In all seriousness, how long does it take to recover? I've read about severe foot blisters, spine and back flare-ups, and just plain "hit by a bus" pains all over.

PS: I have a guaranteed quit smoking method if you're interested.

Quit cold turkey the day my daughter moved out 17 years ago.

I have to admit that i'm a little surprised with how i feel right now. I took the day off work to relax. Mainly i'm beyond hungry and my knees are very sore so stairs are my enemy right now. I rolled out my legs and even went for a slow mile run this morning, which was painful but beneficiary. My feet are feeling good, there was a large blood blister on my right heel yesterday that has already started to heal. I slept on the couch last night just due to exhaustion

1. Smoke like nuts and pack up an ashtray with the ash and butts.

4. Buy a bunch of these:



5. Keep a lighter close by.

6. QUIT.

OK. Now every time you have the urge, grab the jar, unscrew the lid, and take a huge whiff of the fermented excrement.

Then grab one of those stimudent toothpicks, feign lighting it, then "smoke" it. (and clean your teeth in the process. they taste great!)

Part of the addiction is mechanical. This satisfies that aspect. The other part is the nicotine. In all seriousness, if you can inhale a cigarette after smelling that jar of crap - you are hopeless.

I struggled for the first few days because of the nicotine part, then by day 3-4 it started getting a lot easier. After a week, I was 100% cured.

Keep the jar handy.

I'll need to work on not hating myself first but that seems like a nice method.

Alternative method:

1. Cut off both your hands.

It's been 3 years yesterday for me, but I wouldn't recommend the method I used... unless you're a fan of being bed ridden with the flu.

Going on 8 days now. The puking has stopped but my body is still producing insane amounts of phlegm. And every time I have a coughing fit I feel like Joe Pesci has my head in a vise.

I wonder how many times in his life he's been called Joe Pepsi?
