Clark is back from a lengthy vacation at the beach in Florida. He can't recall when he had so much fun! His 2-year-old son finally opened up to enjoying the pool and the beach, while his 8-year-old daughter was learning how to surf on a $99 board.

Wouldn't it be nice to see video footage of Clark's severe wipeouts when he tried his hand at surfing?! He couldn't even stand up on the board. As Clark says, he hardly has an athletic bone in his body.

Meanwhile, the penny-pincher's teenage daughter didn't get to enjoy the beach much. She's been working to pay for expenses during her upcoming sophomore year at college.

While down in Florida, Clark had the opportunity to speak to a tennis pro about ways to improve his jogging. The pro suggested introducing wind-sprints into his routine, which really boosted Clark's endurance.

In fact, he's now running faster than he has in years. In "Clarkspeak," that means he's once again running at turtle speed -- instead of snail speed!
