Anyone on here enjoy running/jogging? I was curious to see if anyone going OTR would be able to fit in a 30 or 60 minute run on a consistent basis. I understand the many factors that would work against you such as weather, fatigue, bad neighborhoods, and no place accessible/safe to run. Just seeing if it was possible to be a runner and an OTR driver. Thanks.
Any runners on here??

As long as you are getting enough sleep, I don't see why not. I don't run anymore (Marine Corps = bad knees), but it's nice to walk out of the truck stop and down country roads or through the woods.

Absolutely it's possible. Not every day, but at least a few times a week. If you really want to, you will find a way. I manage to do it as an OTR driver, and many others are as well.

Thought you were talking about moonshine at first!
Probably find more of those on here than actual runners!

I have never seen anyone running with a smile on their face.

I'd run.... down hill.... if there was a car waiting to take me back up.

That might be because of the 75 biscuits you ate

I had a smile on my face running once. It was the first time I could run after 3 years of not walking. The smile wore off fast though.

It's possible, just not "easy". And it if you're doing it right, you should work up a good sweat, and in need of a shower afterwards.

If you weere smart you'd run up hill. Running uphill is easier than down. Ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 2000. Ya, you can train. You get a lot of questions like, are you training for a Marathon or something? Most people except Mr 75 Bisquits were really nice, offered water etc.
