BLUEFIELD From 2007-09, Jesse Lester compiled a 76-6 record as the boys basketball coach at Wyoming East, winning two state championships and finishing second in the third.

At that point he walked away from the game.

I was kind of worn down and to be honest with you, I was living in Camp Creek when I had those last two coaching jobs, and I had what you could call long distance coaching jobs, said Lester, who was a head coach at Wyoming County schools Herndon and Baileysville prior to arriving at New Richmond as an assistant in the early 2000s.

Lester, who still lives in Camp Creek and teaches at PikeView, now has a shorter drive to be able to resume a coaching career that includes a 298-129 record at three schools, including two state titles and two state runner-up finishes.

Basically my role in life is to help young people as a teacher and coach to reach some of their goals and dreams in life, Lester said. That is why I coach and teach.

He had to do it from afar in the past. During a 13-year span, Lester had to endure a daily drive of more than 1 1/2 hours from Princeton to Baileysville, and later had to commute an hour and 10 minutes from Camp Creek to Wyoming East.

His trip to PikeView? Less than 20 minutes.

Anytime you are traveling that much and gone all the time, it kind of wears you down and burns you out a little bit, said Lester, whose first job at his alma mater in Herndon was just three miles from his home. Now it takes me about 15 to 18 minutes to get to school every day...

Those kind of things just wore me down and I needed to get away for a while.

When Anderson resigned after last season, Lester started getting hints from students and community supporters to take over the program at PikeView.

NEW YORK

Anybody who has a long daily commute knows the frustration of sitting in traffic with nothing to do but wait. Now, a study suggests that long commutes can take away more than just precious time - they also negatively impact your fitness and health.

Previous research has linked longer commutes with obesity. But this new research is believed to be "the first study to show that long commutes can take away from exercise time, explained lead investigator Christine M. Hoehner of Washington University in St. Louis.

Long commutes are associated with "higher weight, lower fitness levels and higher blood pressure, all of which are strong predictors of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers, she said.

One discovery that Hoehner found a little surprising was how being exposed to the daily hassles of traffic can lead to higher chronic stress and higher blood pressure.

Here's how the research was conducted: Scientists studied 4,297 residents from the Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin, Texas, metropolitan areas. They documented their commuting distances, body mass indices, and metabolic risk, including waist circumference, fasting glucose and lipid levels and blood pressure. Participants reported their physical activity for the previous three months.

What did scientists learn? Commuters who said they drove longer distances also reported they took part in less moderate or vigorous physical activity. They had lower cardiorespiratory fitness, greater body mass index, waist circumference, and higher blood pressure.

For a little historical perspective - as obesity rates have increased - so have the number of American commuters and the length of commute times.

Between 1960 and 2000, workers commuting in private vehicles jumped from 41.4 million to 112.7 million, according to theU.S. Department of Transportation. And as suburbs have sprawled across the nation since the 1950s, commuter miles have increased too, along with the time drivers spend sitting behind the wheel. according to theU.S. Census Bureau.

For many commuters, moving closer to work isn't an option but Hoehner said there are solutions that can lead to more exercise.
