Still Racing


While car racing is over for the next few months (unless you go to Florida or Arizona) there is still competition to be had. Since the end of the season I have done several 5K races, one 10K and I have a 10 mile race coming up next week. Of course this year has been my worst for training, and I am approaching the 10M as more of a long training run rather than a race.

The amazing thing is how similar it is to car racing - the prep, getting the equipment right for the day (gets interesting under 30 degrees), the dedication of the runners, the camaraderie, etc.

If you want to pick up a hobby/sport to fill in those non racing weekends, and improve your fitness at the same time, running might be what you are looking for.

Remember to see a doctor before starting any vigorous exercise program.
