Good luck! Sounds like you're off to a great start, especially with the quitting smoking. By the way, if you can you should really get your hands on Allen Carr's book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking. Google it. It changed everything for me and I've been smoke free for over 3 years now. I was a pack a day smoker for about 14 years.0

my girlfriends actually got that book :-) havent read it though, im just going to keep focusing on my cardio for the next month, in just 3 days the amount of progress has already given me huge motivation. previously 13 mins continous anything was a no go. but yesterday i actually managed 3km on the row machine which i think is awesome!
