Today, Nike sponsored a ‘race around the world’ - The Nike Human Race. Not literally a race around the world, but over 30 cities participated in the largest ‘world’ race today. For my Nike friends, feel free to correct me offline
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I had planned on running this 10K ‘virtually’ with my Nike Plus device the plugs into my iPod and tracks your pace and mileage. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason this ‘world race’ sponsored by Nike, didn’t plan on having an actual race location here in Portland – until 2 weeks ago. Much to my surprise, not only were they going to make Portland an actual race location, but they also had Nada Surf lined up to play at the end of the race.
Anyway, I somehow convinced my friend Jeannie, to run this 10k with me today in exchange for running next weekend’s Pints to Pasta 10K. So, yeah, I’ll be doing this again next Sunday. It was absolutely beautiful this morning. Not too many clouds and some nice warm sun poking it’s rays through. Had a blast. Am waiting to see pics that some other friends took of me coming into the Finish chute. In the mean time, here’s a little music from Nada Surf to hopefully add a little sunshine to your day if you’re in the Pac northwest enjoying the rain right now!
