Corporate Challenge

This thing isn't a good race to try to run a time in as there were like 20,000 people jammed into Central Park, most just there to jog or walk. I had trouble warming up and was late to the starting area and so was way pack in the pack. I knew I was in trouble when the woman next to me bent over just before the start to pick up her purse. Then again, I wasn't in any shape to run a time either. I managed to find some space after the first mile and ran the last 2.5 miles in 19:22. About what I might have expected, I guess. According to the charts that's about the equivalent of a 7:10 mile. So I got a lot of room for improvement.

Local 5k

I ran the local 5k with my son today. We finished in 30:43. He's six. Not too shabby.
