"In the end, only my love of running carries me to victory from the urge to smoke." . Brian went from smoking a half-pack of cigarettes each day for 22 years to long-distance runner. His journey began when he decided to run a half-marathon with his sister. With only 6 weeks until the race, he kept track of race training using uamapmyrun and started logging his daily food intake with #MyFitnessPal. Although at times in his training he felt like he was "going to die," his first half marathon went off without a hitch. Spurred on by his success, Brian knew he had to choose his new active and healthy lifestyle or smoking. For him, the choice was easy. Brian's been running ever since and now has his sights set on his first full marathon next month. 🏃‍♂️ . . . #tranformationtuesday #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #beforeandafter #fitspo #running #runnersofinstagram
