Tom Rivers is a middle age man who has been running for about fifteen years. On August 26, 1988, before going out for his evening run, he asked himself, "I wonder how many days I can go without missing a day?" On August 26, 2001 he completed 12 years in his running streak and is well into his 14th year as of THIS date.
Tom is 5'10" tall and weights about 148 pounds. Besides running he began a strict vitamin regimen about 5 years ago. A list of his daily vitamin and minerals intake is listed below on this page.
In March of 1999 Tom began a schedule of exercises, both isometric and with free weights. He continues this daily schedule. A list of exercises is also printed on this page.

Last year Tom joined a health and fitness club. However after about 4 months of attending and using their equipment he found that he could accomplish the same results at home and for much less! This is not to say that some guys don't NEED the club. However, DISCIPLINE is the key word. As in his running, the free weight and isometric exercises must be performed regularly. |
