Run, ******, Run
July 11th, 2008
Yesterday I ran in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge in Battersea park.
The race was a 5.6km race, which translates to 3.48 miles. I think this was the farthest measured distance I have ever run. In high school I remember getting on the treadmill for 30 mins on 6 but didn’t particularly enjoy it. This time around I ran for 33 minutes at a rate of 9.5 mins per mile. This is actually better than I expected, considering I have not been training or running. The only running I’ve been doing has been running out of toilet paper.
The finish line was my favourite part, I would say….sprinting that last 100 meters and not having to run anymore. I don’t know if I have it in me to do a marathon. Some people are made for running, others made for running out of toilet paper.
