Tonoose Survives the Central Park Race
Corporate Challenge Race
Not only survives but your favorite uncle actually enjoys the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge 3.5 mile walk run.
Of course, today, his legs and feet are tired, not to mention the rest of him. And, what's with that chaffing where the sun don't shine?
Can't wait until next year ... or one of these days when I can tell you all about this race. For insurance, I brought my umbrella, but left it behind with all the backbpacks and such.
You know, it started to rain just before the race kicked off.
And it rained pretty well into mile two. It was a cooling rain we reminded ourselves. And it brought a beautiful reminder, over a Central Park baseball field, of the beauty of the rain.
Your favorite uncle would like to thank colleague Dawn W. for helping him find the right subway car and Central Park, too. Not to mention the kindness of strangers on our way home who got us to the PATH station from the NYC subway.
