A'ndrea, GC, and Rick- I must say I am quite impressed with you all. I made a resolution to start excersizing and make an honest attempt to stop smoking on my 45th bday. Reading this has given me a re-kick in motivation.

Dwayne, what routine are you going to be doing? I love strength training and cardio. A'ndrea is right on when she says it's never too late. Good luck as well.
I saw an ad today for a new method to stop smoking, called "breathe Laser". People in the ad claimed it took one week to be free from the habit. Don't really know if it works.
My son wants me to start training to do a half marathon. I told him for me to run, someone has to be chasing me.
Ken, my brother does ironmen triathalons. Swim 1.5 miles, bicycle 26 miles, run 25 miles. I told him he's nutso. He thinks I'm a "wimp" because I only run 4-5 miles a day. Go figure!
I think I need to just start walking first to be honest. Stop the smoking and just get a little more mobile. I think then I would do the strength to get a start.

I did a half marathon 2 years ago, when I was a mear 55 years old. I found Gallager's book on marathon running very helpful. It helped me set up a program to train for it. I beat my goal of 2hr 20 min by 24 sec. It was a great experience. I now am eyeing a marathon but I think the goal will be arrive before sunset and still kicking.
Good luck!
