Breaking the habit of smoking and new personal records

Last week I worked full time to catchup the work at my part time job. Monday after work I’ve lighted up a cigarette, under the stimulant kick I’ve decided to take a break from it.

The carvings for smoking were replaced with running. This week I’ve broke 2 personal records at running 5k. Also I started the weekly training with Sparta.

Monday running with my former colleagues. 5 k in 22.06 minutes

I wasn’t smoking much before going in vacation but progressively I’ve developed a habit of smoking and I think the peer pressure and price point were the main reasons.

In an article a Brazilian did an observation that Romanians prefer to maintain the floor clean than the lungs.

For me running is a process of cleaning of body, mind and spirit. An stimulant for health, for energy and the overall wellbeing. It’s a way to become a better person, more sympathetic.

Friday Running with my new employer breaking the record once again running 5 k in 21:45 minutes

My drive for personal improvement is bigger than ever. Next week I’m starting my first full time job and I’m excited to start this new chapter.
