Last night was the sixth straight Corporate Challenge road race I’ve run in San Francisco. In that time, the sponsor morphed from Chase to JPMorganChase. In that time, two kids entered the family. In that time, I moved from NBC Internet (now defunct) to CNET Networks, so I’ve gotten to wear a few different logos. In that time, the course has changed from running around Fisherman’s Wharf and Fort Mason to Crissy Field, an improvement in everything but accessibility from downtown, where many are coming from.
Obsessive that I am, I’ve recorded my times for each 3.5 mile (supposedly) race, and I dug them all up this morning.

I’m not getting faster, but at least I’m not slipping too quickly.
