Back by popular demand for the second time, Nike Organize the Human Race 10k on the 24th of October 2009. It was the day where over a million runners from some 30 cities around the world gathered on Saturday to full fill one common mission of running 10 kilometres.

The largest Running Event in Singapore was the tagline for the Salonpas Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon 2009. It is organised by SAFRA and The Army on the 16 August 2009.

About a year ago I went out and purchased the Nike+ Sportband from the Nike Bird store which I will be use as an aid in improving my runs . Nike + Sportband enable runners to keep track of their run similar to to the Nike+ Ipod system. Statistical feedback such as calorie burned, running pace, running distance will be recorded into device. The Sportband consists of two parts: a rubber holding strap which is worn around the wrist, and the receiver which resembles a USB disk. The receiver displays information comparable to that of the iPod kit on the built-in display. The receiver can then be plugged straight into a USB port and the software will upload the run information automatically to the Nike+ website. On top of that it doubles up as a kick ass wrist sports watch.
