I started smoking at 18 in 1976 when I was in the Army. I also started running. I am a good runner and ran many races and marathons. I qualified for the Boston at 28 years old with a marathon time of 3HR and 22Min. I decided I wanted to win even more races. I loved winning. So I quit smoking. It would make me better!!!Right? WRONG!!!!!!!!Within 3 months I could barely run because of pain and lack of bowel control. My husband left me. Who wants a wife who lives on the toilet. Soon the UC took control with cycles of flare-ups followed by depression. UC controlled my life for 10 years. My doctor told me about the nicotine link in 1991. I started smoking again in 1997. Since then I have run 2 more marathons and placed in many 5K runs. Smoking gave me my life back.
