"Sonichu's Edge" (officially "Sonichu's Edge.MP4") is a video uploaded on 3 December 2009, in which Chris goes "jogging". The title is a not-too-subtle parody of the 3-D platformer Mirror's Edge.
Based on the accompanying Captain's Log, he made this to show that he is "pumped up for pushing Sonichu out into merchandise." This video proves that Chris has no idea what "jogging" is. He is sprinting (for him) in this video, obviously missing the point of jogging (a slow, easy run). Chris inserts obvious jump cuts at 1:30, 1:58, 2:25, 3:00, 3:22 and 3:42, where he's run out of breath and needs a break due to how out of shape he is.
Chris confuses the acrobatic sport parkour with the squeezable margarine brand Parkay. He also confuses "light jogging" with "parkour" in general.
One can only imagine what the innocent citizens of Charlottesville must have thought as a fat, sweaty retard went puffing by at a little over walking pace with a camera dangling from his obese neck.
An email in Mailbag 16 pointed out that Chris ran about 579 yards (529 meters) in three and a half minutes, at a snail's pace of 2.8 m/s (6 mph / 10 km/h), nowhere near the 5 miles (8 km) he claimed. Chris seems unable to estimate measurements of length and time.
Chris has declined to record another running video, blaming the battery in his camera.

Transcript
[Brandishes Amnyfest Ring] Hello there, fans! It's Christian Chandler here, live at the downtown mall, where for the Sonichu franchise and city of CWCville, and everything like that, I'm gonna do a Parkay from this point [camera spins around to show some sidewalks] all the way down to the gara—parking garage [Camera spins back to Chris] where, at the end, we will get a nice view of the tent-style theater that's down there where events are held. And for this viewing, the camera will be hung around my neck right about here. [Gestures to the Sonichu medallion] To get—see what I see from that point of view. And, also, uh, there may be one or two pauses where I have to catch my—my breath. Of course that's what you expect, even from the best runner.
[Jump cut. Camera is now apparently hanging around Chris's neck. Chris's hand comes into frame for a second for him to flash the Amnyfest Ring.]
Alright, here we go!
0:42-1:20 Chris begins running, relatively slowly. His path seems to be pretty erratic.
1:21-1:30 Chris enters a populated area. Though the jerky camera makes it difficult to see, several people seem to stop and stare at him. At 1:28, Chris's heavy breathing becomes audible.
1:31-1:44 First jump cut. For those keeping score, Chris stops to rest after forty-eight seconds of jogging. He continues through the shopping center, his hands occasionally coming into frame.
1:45-1:46 Chris goes in between some trees.
1:47-1:58 Chris's breathing starts becoming heavy again.
1:59-2:15 Second jump cut. Chris runs past a happy couple, and then runs down some stairs.
2:16-2:25 Chris passes by a large Christmas tree. Around 2:20, his movement begins to slow down considerably.
2:26-2:33 Third jump cut.
2:34-2:41 Relaxing guitar music fades in and out as Chris passes a band of street musicians.
2:42-2:54 Chris continues onwards.
2:55-3:00 Chris runs past a small bus.
3:01-3:16 Fourth jump cut. Chris runs through some decorative trees.
3:17-3:21 Chris rounds a corner, and approaches an open door.
3:22-3:32 Fifth jump cut. Chris is now inside a building. He trudges up some stairs, clearly walking.
3:33-3:42 Chris passes someone going in the opposite direction. He continues upwards.
3:43-3:50 Sixth jump cut. Chris apparently reaches the 4th floor and exits a door into the blinding sunlight.
3:51-4:10 Chris is now on the top level of a parking structure. He runs across the parking area. Around 4:05 his breathing becomes very heavy. At 4:10, he reaches his destination. The camera shows a large tented area on the ground far below.
See? Amphitheater. [Camera spins around back to Chris, who flashes the peace sign] Thank you for your continued support!
