THE HUMAN RACE 2009

The Human Race 2009 is comming up on Sat Oct 24. This is an event where runners from all over the world will take part and run with a Nike+ tracking device whether that be and ipod, iphone or the sportband. I've already invited everyone I know in Hong Kong & Toronto on Facebook. Whether those whom I've invited will take part, it depends on the individuals. My only job was to inform them & I believe I've already done my part to help them keep healthy and be a part of such a big and exciting event.

Shoe Safety

What to wear & when to wear them or not to wear them!
Flipflops & crocks may seem comfortable, but may damage your feet in certain instances b/c they are too flat & every person needs shoes w/ at least a slight elevation. However, it is ok to wear them for short walks and on the beach.

More Nike Gear

These fotos were taken at the NRL at the Nike Store.

These are tje Nike Zoom Vomero+ 4 Women's Running Shoes that I just got, but not from the Nike Store. Actually I got them from a friend who got them at a discount.

Vitamin Water

I really like vitamin b/c it tastes like juice, but w/o the high concentration of sugar, & it contains vitamins & minerals. Some brands taste better than others. I've purchased a brand that is available at grocery stores & drug stores that tasted kind of strange so I will not try that one ever again.

I like this one in the foto. It's a brand new product that just came out. You can see the ads in the latest running/sports magazines. I think it tastes ok, but I really like the bottle design. It's nice & big and is enough water for me to drink in one run & the liquid won't spill even when the cap is off. It's very conveninet. Another brand which I like for the taste & variety of flavours is GLACEAU. My favourite is the greentea, cranberry & pommergranate flavours. Orange is the least best tasting one especially if it's not chilled, but I still drink it for the vitamin C & calcium. Each flavour also differs in the nutrients/vitamins, so when you pick one you can either choose by the flavour or by what nutrients you think you need. It's very good for health conscious people like you & me. But vitamin water is still a bit pricey in general & I haven't seen them sell it in bulk anywhere yet.
