When CRR Diane Kukich commits to something, she seriously commits. For much of her adult life she has kept fit by working out, by exercising in one form or another—either walking, running, swimming, or biking. Now she’s approaching an impressive, and somewhat unimaginable, milestone. Kukich is closing in on 10,000 consecutive days of exercise—that’s about 27 years and 4 months, day in and day out. See video / read full story (including quotes from CRR Steve Goodwin and an inspirational nod to CRR Cole Galloway).
Kukich still holds the Delaware state resident record for the 50-54 age group at the 20K distance (set in 2002 – see state records held by Creek Road Runners).
You go, girl!
First-person accounts are essential, so CRR Steve Goodwin provides a glimpse of his experiences so far at the Olympic Games in Rio.
Two Creek Road Runners had separate winter adventures with a camera recently.
CRR Bill Farquhar writes in the News Journal about new sodium labeling—“salt bombs”—restaurants are using. Farquhar is Professor and Chair in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware. He studies the role of diet and exercise on human health. In addition to his academic prowess, Farquhar is a serious runner. Now that his training is back on track, you can be sure he’s watching his own salt intake too.
CRR Cole Galloway and his Go Baby Go mobility program at the University of Delaware was injected with some new funding from the organization Kids with Confidence. His research will ultimately provide information to improve the lives of children with many kinds of mobility and learning issues, but those with Down syndrome are the focus of the initial Go Baby Go research. Galloway is professor of physical therapy in the College of Health Sciences.
