Core Commit to Health & Fitness 2015, Round One: Jan 5 - Mar 15

[ergophobe]

Rough couple of weeks, but this week got more or less back on track - 13 miles running (3 runs), a decent bit of lifting rocks, a good say of cutting and hauling brush today, and a rock climb tomorrow.

No real exercise for the body but some for the spirit in terms of old dogs trying new tricks. I went to the race track for the first time last weekend to watch my nephew race in the Spec Miata class. Between race events, though, there are "driver events" where they can take passengers. I rode in his car, a BMW E30 race car and a rental Ford Fusion. The Ford Fusion was the best by far. The driver had his race car in the shop, so he rented an automatic transmission Fusion and brought it to the track. It was unbelievable. Like being in a car chase movie. Slower, but infinitely more exciting, than the race cars. Plus he was a good driver, so except on the straightaway we were pretty much hanging with a lot of fancy cars with lesser drivers (Sonoma Raceway - tight, turny and hilly). While I was riding the Fusion, Theresa was riding in a McLaren P1.

Sounds like an amazing time.  Those Fusions are suppose to be quite nimble from what I've read.

I'm buying a rowing machine, plan is to lose the beer-fat, tone the muscles, then start on weights.
