5K with 110 co workers!

This week was the 37th annual JP Morgan Chase corporate challenge.  It was my second year running it .  Our agency does amazing pro-bono work for a children’s cancer charity, Hole in the Wall and so we made the event a fundraiser .  The group raised enough to send one child to camp for a week.

Leading up to the corporate challenge, we had a walking group that met twice a week to encourage people to increase their distance leading up to the race, so that they would be comfortable with the 3.1.  It worked because we had great participation.

Here is a picture of a small group of us getting ready to go in the orange corral.  There were over 15, 000 runners over all. Central Park was a full of runners on Wednesday night.

So thats two 5 K’s so far in June .
