Build on your short-term successes

Get out there and exercise. You never know what you will find and how good you will feel.

Fit for the Road

Drivers wanting to implement healthier routines into a busy schedule need patience, perseverance and a little know-how.

Set short- and long-term goals

October 1, 2011

October is a great month to start a routine.

Belgium, Wis.

October 20, 2010

This is the trail that got me thinking about putting together a guide of trucker friendly trails. I have been stopping at the How Dea Truck Stop for more than 20 years. I had even run east about 3 miles to a state park along ...

Wolf River Rail Trail

October 12, 2010

The Wolf River Rail Trail is easily accessible for a trucker. Access it in Brookville, Ohio, exit 21 on I-70. The easiest way to access it is to go south off of the exit. Wendy’s, Arby’s and McDonald’s all have truck parking. From there head ...

Favorite Trail

September 24, 2010

The Des Plaines River Greenway is a great trail. The trail itself is 31 miles long, but it connects with other local trails giving it hundreds of accessible miles off the main corridor trail. It is surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of forest preserve ...

Working the Plan

September 15, 2010

Some of us can just eat properly and get their exercise as a daily routine. That’s not me. I need a well-defined goal and a plan for how to achieve it. My long-term goal is to finish a marathon at the age of 70. That ...

Comeback

July 22, 2010

This was my first race back from my heart problem. Almost every athlete my age (51) has had to come back from an ailment or two. My plan was to try to treat this like any other injury. Listen to my body. When the body ...

Better now

July 16, 2010

We did the Green Bay 1.5 mile walk on Saturday. There were 12 participants. It was 12 more than last year, but about half what I expected. I had been a little down over the low turnout. The walk itself was an excellent time. It ...

Coming back

July 5, 2010

Since my heart problem 48 days ago I have followed doctor’s orders and not run. He told me that I could bike or walk, just not run. There are days when I fought back the urge to run and almost laced up the shoes. I ...

Take charge and do something

June 11, 2010

I will never try to convince you that a marathon runner is healthier than a 5k runner. An elite marathon runner will be out on the course running hard for more than 2 hours. An elite 5k runner will be out there less than 15 minutes. ...

Exercise product: Fitness shoe

May 24, 2010

This shoe from Reebok can help women with toning leg muscles.

Feeling lucky

May 20, 2010

“Mr. Clark, you’ve had a heart attack.” Whoa! Those aren’t words anyone looks forward to hearing from a doctor. It can’t be. I run 25 miles per week. It’s not fair. Fair? He was telling me and not my widow. Alright, I’ll settle. OK! It was not ...

Running Naked

April 9, 2010

It’s not what you think. You are wearing clothes. People tend to get caught up in performance tracking. I ran 5 miles Tuesday in 45 minutes. Today I ran the same distance in 46 minutes. What’s wrong? Nothing, but that type of thing can get ...

Inspiration

March 16, 2010

I believe there are two extreme types of runners. There are those runners who go to bed at night looking forward to their morning run. Then there are those of us whose first step of a run is the most difficult. That second one’s me. ...
