Zoom Past Camels or Penguins

Is the usual run in your neighborhood getting dull? The same trees, the same mailboxes, the same faces... Snore!

Luckily, there are other routes in life. Go to www.racingtheplanet.com and see about the upcoming Sahara Desert Race starting September 25, 2005. If that doesn’t strike your fancy, learn more about another of their desert races, including the Atacama Crossing in Chile. Now THIS is exciting! Take a look at the race that just took place in the Gobi Desert with Johns Hopkins sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist Dr. Brian Krabak as the Medical Director for Racing the Planet. The competing runners included finance executives, professional nomads, ultra-marathoners from Turkey, Japan, South Africa, Australia, just to name a few places. Get the details about the race on Dr. Brian Krabak and his colleague, Brandie Waite’s Gobi Blog. Wouldn’t you rather wave to camels and cacti while you run?
