It's official – The Bloggling Joggler is the fastest 10K joggler in the world

I'll raise a pint to this: Despite my lack of video footage, the representatives at Guinness World Records have officially accepted my 10K joggling world record. My time of 36 minutes and 27 seconds surpassed the previous record by five minutes.

Thank you to my official witnesses, especially to Roger Moss, who ran the whole thing next to me or just behind me and was able to verify that I joggled every step of the way, and that I ran it "clean" (ie. no drops).

As a member of the Longboat Roadrunners, I was happy to set the record at the historic, beautiful and flat Longboat Toronto Island Run.

Here's what it says today on my online Guinness World Records account:

    Congratulations!

    Yeah, the Island run is great... except for that wobbly boardwalk!

    Great job. Now go get that marathon record!

    Although, it seems like Utah isn't the best place to try to set a PR, eh?

    Thanks guys.

    The Utah course is fast, but the altitude could be a problem. I ran it a few years ago as a pacer and didn't notice the thinner air, but I was running a 3:15 marathon. Things may be different running a 2:50 while juggling.
