Bootin’ it in Bogota or Leggin’ it in Lima

Last night I attended an event celebrating the launch of the Nike Human Race in Vancouver. A race to save humanity? Not as such. But a 10K run round Vancity whilst 24 other cities around the globe run the race concurrently.

Having traveled to half of the cities participating, I decided to sign up. However, this may have been slightly induced by the continuous stream of wine being poured into my glass. Nothing like a little après work wine haze to inspire ones greatness.

Thus, let the training begin. It’s not like I’ll be hoofing it through a marathon or anything, it’s just 10K – right? Less beach lounging and patio surfing…more running. Shit, what have I done?

Vancouver is the only Canadian city participating (what’s up TO?), so I’ll be saying G’day to my mates in Melbourne, Pip Pip to my pals in London and Nay-ho-ma to my homies in Shanghai, as I stride ever so gracefully (or grasping for my last breathe of air) over the finish line. The race is scheduled for 7pm (a twilight run), August 31st. Cities listed below:

Austin - Bogotá - Buenos Aires – Caracas – Chicago – Istanbul – London - Los Angeles – Lima – Madrid – Melbourne - Mexico City - Munich - New York – Paris – Quito – Rome - São Paulo - Seoul – Shanghai – Singapore – Taipei – Tokyo – Warsaw - Vancouver

SATC – the wait has officially ended as I saw the film over the weekend, to which it exceeded all expectations. I have never seen so many frocks and stiletto clad women in Vancouver…ever.
