Another ex-smoker here-- my last cig was Wed. 6:30pm. So it's been nearly 39 hours... I really, really want to make my time goals for Monday's 10k, and clearer lungs will surely help.

Anyway, I've been making minimal use of the nicotine gum, 3 pieces yesterday and one so far today. My teeth have never been brushed so many times in one day-- that's a great suggestion! And I'm going to get over to the yarn store today, hopefully there will be some sock yarn in the clearance bin.

It's not been too bad so far; I even managed to deal with a flat tire on my car yesterday without lighting up! I did have a huge coughing fit while waiting a stop light on this morning's run, but once I started running again, it was ok.

All you ex-smokers are inspiring! Thanks
