A number of us got together to take part in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Chall...
At about 5pm yesterday afternoon, I had a call from my still coughing wife asking if I'd take her place in the same race that I'd run the previous day. The event lasts two days so that a total of 25,000 people can have a go running round the park. I was hesitant at first, but since I had to go for a 4 mile jog that evening anyway, I figured I may as well do it in the company of strangers.
Despite setting out determined only to jog it round and not go for a time, at about the half-way point, frustration set in and I began the steeplechase route down the outside of the track. I tired after 3 or 4 bouts of this and decided to relax back into a jog.
The result? I shaved 0.2 seconds off of my time. If only there were prizes for consistency!
