Ch, ch, changes...

A new year and and a new resolve to take on an old enemy. Smoking and I are again doing battle. I was hoping it would be a potential new year's resolution come true. I made it 3 days and fell into a minimal crutch behavior. While having 3 - 4 a day is such a considerable improvement, I know it would not last. Plus, in a less than smart maneuver I refused to stop using the patch. Everyday I am aspiring to do battle with this monkey on my back. As of today, I am riding my 6th clean day. I am doing better this go round and even manage to forget I am trying to quit something. I am running hard to forget as well. Hopefully this will benefit the marathon training to begin in a month. Stay tuned, with luck I will soon be able to smell the rain again.
