Congrats to Carl

Carl hasn't said anything on the blog, but he just completed his first 5k run and from what I have heard he lived to tell about it. It may not seem like much to some, but I think it is a great thing for him to have completed. Carl is (or was) the most sedentary person I have ever known so I give him a hearty contratulations on this accomplishment and here's hoping he continues exercising in the future.

We know the price of gasoline in Chicago is the most expensive in the nation but isn't this a bit extreme?

Seriously, you're a better man than I.

Thanks for the shout out.

The funny part was that I finished faster than maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of the field. I've never run faster than anyone else before...

That's great.

Just curious, what'd you run it in? I've been looking at doing a marathon near the end of the year and was toying about building confidence at 5k's and 10k's.

congrats Carl, the good thing about running races is that there is always someone behind you.
