So yesterday I met a goal that I had made for myself of running a 10k. The race that I participated in was sponsored by Nike and was titled The Human Race. This was because it took place all over the world and you did not necessarily have to be at a particular location. How is this possible?
The Human Race
The Human Race sponsored by Nike was a 10k race that took place in major cities around the world such as Chicago, Istanbul, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Munich, New York City, Paris, Portland, Seoul, Singapore, Vancouver. It ALSO took place… wherever you happen to live! That’s right. Nike created a sensor that they named Nike+ which goes into special Nike shoes (or you can get a pouch for non-Nike shoes) and it records your running for you including distance, time, pace and calories burned. So to participate all I had to do was run a 10k on my usual training route and then sync my Nike+ data up to the servers by a set deadline. Pretty awesome.
