Jimmie Johnson is not only a great race car driver, but he may be one of the fittest guys on the planet! I ran his 5k last year, and as much as I like to joke and say that I *let* him win since it was his 5k, that's not even close to the truth. The truth is that I saw the man running up a hill in the midst of the 5k at what seemed like at least 50 mph while carrying on a conversation with someone as if he were sitting still. You gotta be SERIOUSLY FIT to pull that off! Meanwhile, his 5k time beat my 5k time by about 15 minutes...and I felt like I was running at Olympian speed! Yeah...not even close...
He's changed things up this year... new location, new challenges, and he's even bringing in food trucks, DJs, and live music. It sounds like a lot of fun, and who better to challenge yourself with than a seven time NASCAR Champion?!
