Man Walks Lake Murphysboro Miles Despite Senior Strain
Frank Allison, a 52 year old Murphysboro man, walks around Lake Murphysboro 145 times since 1987 to stay fit. He alternates five and nine mile routes, sometimes completes nine miles in one day, and begins his Sunday hike at 7 am after coffee. He is joined by neighbor Rip the dog and occasionally Tugene Comte. He dislikes driving, notes downhill segments are hardest, and uses hiking as core exercise with pushups and shoulder stands. He lives at 926 N 15th St and works part time as a telegraph operator for Missouri Pacific Railroad with family at home.
