"By racing, I give aging the middle finger." Love this sentence and your why's behind racing, Sarah! Thanks for sharing your passion and inspiring words with us.

"Running at my age is more about taking care of my heart, lungs and brain than about competing." Agreed. It just feels good. I can't imagine running or recovering from an ultra! You're amazing.

Great read Sarah! I found that racing (bicycles in my case) provided a structure to my training calendar that I just couldn't adhere to otherwise. Once my racing life was over, consistency in training was non-existent.
