For a lot of New Yorkers, the weather on Saturday was enough to cancel plan, sleep in and order delivery. For some 3000+ dedicated New York area runner, it was a different story. This year's Nike Plus Human Race was Saturday, October 24th. As Nike explains it:
New York City was one of 24 cities worldwide to host a 10K as part of the second Nike+ Human Race. Nike also encouraged runners located outside one of the 24 host cities to log their miles online using the Nike+ system, creating a truly global event. Together, the world ran almost 800,000 miles on 10.24.09
Congratulations to all of those who participated in the world-wide event, especially to those who braved the weather in New York on Saturday, to get out and log some miles.
