I know I've complained A LOT about running in Central Park. Well, I decided to be a race
participant as opposed to a race
crasher. Every year across the country, JPMorgan has a
Corporate Challenge. Think of it as a big cross country meet for all the companies, banks, law firms in the major cities. New York's is a 2-day event and my firm participated in the 2nd day. I've been training since the beginning of March -- hence the
getting fit goal. I was never actually sure that I would have the night off to run it. (Not to mention having the guts to have co-workers take photos!) NY-ers are too cool for cameras. I'm just the cheesy one that likes them... for everything.)

| Like I said, THOUSANDS of runners! |
Well, I did! I also think I set my sights too low. My goal time to finish the 3.5 mile race was 40 minutes. Well, I blew that away! 33:59 baby!! Also, there were THOUSANDS of people -- seriously, by thousands, I mean like 15,000 people. Because I could never really get more than a 1.5 foot radius of space around me. I figure my time is more like 33 minutes, which makes it a 9:30-minute mile! Yay me!

CONGRATS! That's a great timing mile! I think I always run better when I surrounded by lots of people - it's motivating! So proud of you and you look awesome!
