Yesterday I competed in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge Race. They hold this every year for all the chubby corporate people like myself. It's a 3.5 mile race through Central Park and you may recall it was this race a few years ago that prompted me to run a marathon. I'd never been able to run the whole race before but you can be sure I ran the whole thing yesterday! My time was about 32 minutes. Here I am celebrating afterwards with a couple of my coworkers.
I did their race in Chicago a couple times, the last in 2004, at which point I told myself that if I beat 8 minutes a mile I would try some longer races. I finished in 27:35. That was early May; I ran the marathon that October.
