Have You Heard?

After downloading my run to Nike+, I was finally curious enough about this whole "join the Human Race" thing to read about it. The concept is actually super cool. I should have know coming from Nike it would be. I signed right up and ordered my T-shirt tonight. The race will be August 31, 2008.

The Nike+ Human Race is a 10k which translates to 6.25 miles. The neat thing is that it will be done at your own pace wherever you are on race day. There are races in 24 different cities around the world that day but none where I am. For me to participate all I had to do was sign-up and choose a charity. On race day everyone will run and log their miles on Nike+. If you choose to run on your own, the only money to spend is on the T-shirt and only if you want it. I happen to want an entire closet full of race T-shirts so I spent the $35.

I am really looking forward to my first race in years. I love that it will be done on my own and the distance doesn't scare me. I'm going to run a 10k! How rad is that? Now I need to map my course.
