Is anyone out there a race walker?

[CJB]

I'm interested in learning to race walk. I 've tried running in the past but I simply hate it (too jarring for me). I've experimented with race walking a little bit on my own and really liked it. I need a portable sport to become involved in as I travel a fair amount with my work. This would be ideal since all I need is a pair of shoes. I have had lower back injuries in the past, however, and so would like very much to either find somewhere to have a coaching or a chance to talk with someone about form as I begin.

Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

you should watch that episode of MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE where Hal becomes a race-walker and goes nuts with it - it's hilarious!!

I've missed that one. I'm sure I'll be providing the neighborhood with lots of material for a sitcom soon...ha! I hope no one has a video camera....
