Are You Ready for the Corporate Run?

I actually don't run anymore -- I just go from BigFirm tent to BigFirm tent, enjoying the free coconut water, snacking on granola bars, bananas, muffins, paella etc. until I am completely satiated.

Then I move on to Gin Gibsons at the Bankers' Club.

Now that's what I call a healthy lifestyle!

Share with us your most ridiculous corporate run story -- it's ok, no one is working today anyway.

Corporate Run, Rabbit, Run!

Do you want to know what your boss looks like in compression shorts?

Are you dying to learn whether senior executive sweat pools in the upper or lower back?

If so join me and 22,000 other fitness-minded professionals as we create massive gridlock, kill all productivity across the city, run around downtown in a giant circle, and finish by entering something called "the chute." 

(I assume that's a euphemism?)

Like all of you I have my standard pre-race rituals -- the Gin Gibson water bottle (to induce the burpees), the full bikini wax (to increase speed), the autographed photo iron-on tee shirt of the entire cast of Carter Country (for inspiration, 'natch!).

"Handle it, Roy, handle it!"

Have fun kids, and see you at the whole-wheat bolognese tent!

Truly A Major-League City?

Oh Miami, this is why we love you so:

Nearly 3.1 miles, as opposed to exactly 3.1 miles, because the night before, apparently unbeknownst to Miami police and the city's public works department, Northeast Third Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets ''was stripped for resurfacing,'' race co-director Hans Huseby said. ``We stumbled onto it before the race and it was the classic, `What the . . .'''

You can't make this stuff up.

(It was a fun event anyway.)

Corporate Run -- I'm Outta Here.

I want to send a big thanks to all the firms and businesses participating in this year's corporate run.

We all know the economic environment is difficult but that is exactly why such time, energy, and money is needed, for such a good cause.

Have fun, kiddies!
