Nike 10K Human Race


Woo hoo! The Nike Human Race 10K was freaking awesome. Nike organized 10K races all over the world, where 1,000,000 runners raced for humanity. I ran in the Los Angeles, CA edition (the last leg of the world wide race). Our race started at 8:31:08 PM Pacific Time (significant b/c the race was held on 8/31/2008) so it was nice and dark. The evening turned out to be pretty humid. I ran well, despite the other 12,500 runners determined to stand in my way. I started at a good pace in the beginning and gradually increased my speed towards the end to finish strong.

I finished in an hour and 3 minutes, ran with some of my bestest buds, and topped it all off with a hyped up concert from Common Sense and Kanye West. What a night!!!!

So... we weaved in & out of 'running' traffic for 6mi and still managed to maintain a 10min/mi avg rate. Not too bad, huh? So, let me pose this question... others have heard my ranting about this already... shouldn't there be a 'running etiquette' for all those runners who want to take an occasional break? Like, MOVE TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE!... uf... ok... good to get that of my chest. Good Job Everyone!!!!
