Since NOPI Drift has been canceled, I have slowly stepped away from cars for a bit.  Yes, I am still building my new car, and I will compete in ‘09, but it is kinda refreshing not spending all day and night doing car stuff.  I jumped back on the mountain bike and have been biking with Yancey and Greg (RayRay even comes out, but stops for smoke breaks), and I recently started running.  Sonja and I are training for a 5K run in Atlanta at the end of September.  I’ve never run just for the sake of running before.  It’s kinda boring; I’d rather be on my bike, but I really want to finish a 5K.  Once again the competetive side of me shows.  This past weekend we clocked 10miles running, and 25miles biking.  My best 5K time was 32mins.  Lots of room for improvement.

The race is 4 weeks away, I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress. Hopefully I won’t end up like this:
