My health article also derived from the Fitness Magazine. I attempted to run out and buy the one Carolyn was telling me to get (you know, the one with the sleep article in it) and instead ended up with the NOV/DEC 2012 issue. This is where I discovered DRAGON- BOAT RACING. So this woman, Heather Swift, who is 43 years old and overcame breast and ovarian cancer started dragon-boat racing after a terrible mountain biking accident. She paddles 10 hours each week with her team. She looks amazing and her story made me want to jump up and try this water sport. Plus there is a drummer involved. The basics of dragon-boat racing are that 10 to 20 people paddle a large boat on a 200, 500, or 2,000 meter course while a drummer in the front sets the pace.And the boats are pretty cool looking. This just sounds like a good time. If you want to see some of this dragon-boat racing here is a link: http://www.bostondragonboat.org/
Happy Dragon-Boat Racing!!!!!
