Corporate Challenge

Seems I lied...the 10k on June 26th wasn't going to be my next race.

Run #2 of my life. The JPMorgan Corporate Challenge in Boston. 3.5 miles through the city. On June 2, 2011. Only 4 days after my half.

Overall, a much better showing on my part. 36:38. 10:28/mile. Not bad. Definitely better than the 11:51 that I pulled at the half.

A much shorter race and it had a very different environment. 12,000 people. And they all seemed to start where I did.

I ran with 3 of my co-workers. Well, ran is to generous of a word. We started together. Within 5 minutes I had lost all three of them. The two women were walking...the guy started walking with them, gave it up and ran. I still managed to finish over 12 minutes faster than he did. Ha. I rule. The two women? Yea. Didn't even walk all 3.5 miles. Didn't think they would anyway.

And...well. That's it. Ran from Charles Street to Kenmore and back. Finished less than 2 minutes slower than one of my staff...the one that ran the 5 mile part of the half. Made me feel pretty good about myself.

Now...10k on June 26th really IS the next race.
