Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa - The Running Man

Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa knows the importance of winding down after a long hard day of work. Joseph says that winding down and resting is a crucial aspect of work, the same way that a rest period is necessary after exercise. That is why Joseph makes it a point to directly involve himself in several different hobbies that help pass the time. Among Joseph's favorite hobby though, the one he is most passionate about, is competitive racing, of all assortments. Just recently, Joseph has participated in the the McNellie's pub run in the summer of 2013, an annual fun run in Tulsa Oklahoma whose proceeds go to the Chad Perry Fund, a local Tulsa charity. Joseph says participating in the pub run has become a sort of tradition, and that many of his friends and family attend. The run has become a good way for the community to get together and enjoy each other's company, and most importantly, unwind for the next big race day. Joseph has also participated in several other running events, including the Lighthouse Triathlon in the summer of 2003, a highly intensive and competitive race that features a 500 meter swim in Lake Erie, a twenty kilometer bike ride through a paved township, and a five meter run through a village to the finish line. Joseph says that the Lighthouse Triathlon is one of the more rigorous ones, and that if he was to do it again today, might require a bit of preparation.

Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa has participated in a number of running events both highly intensive, and just fun and light. Among those events is the Tough Mudder Race in New Jersey, a grueling ten to twelve mile obstacle course with some of the most punishing and rugged courses out there, courses that require a physical and mental stamina that few, if any possess without hard work and commitment. Joseph says that though the race is intense, it is also a lot of fun, and a great way to stay in shape and even just blow off steam. Joseph says that in the Tough Mudder Race, you are bound to get dirty, but since he spends most of his time in a very sterile hospital environment, getting dirty is a kind of rare treat for him, which was partially his motivation for participating in the otherwise insane race. Joseph says however that it is events like these that refresh and renew him for the next work week.
