… is about to happen in two days. And I’ll be there ;-). Along with Paula Radcliffe, Moby, Craig David and guys from Pendulum. It’s pitty I’m not running in LA — Kanye West is gonna perform there at the “dopest after-party ever”.

It’s official, I’m in!

Nike+ Human race takes place on 31/08 and I’ll be running with number 0769197. There will be another 999 998 fellow runners all over the world competing against me ;-).

This is the world’s biggest one day running event ever, offering runners across the globe the chance to compete together on August 31, 2008. The 10k event will span multiple continents and cover 25 cities,including LA, New York,London, Madrid, Paris, Istanbul, Melbourne, Shanghai, São Paulo and Vancouver.

I can’t wait. To make things even better, Nike invited top-class musicians to perform and make it for all of us runners a bit easier. So as I’m running in London, I’ll get to see Moby and Pendulum. Folks in LA will joined by Kanye West etc. It’s f**king huge.

I went to London yesterday to collect my race-pack in NikeTown. I have to say, I was quite impressed as the NikeTown on Oxford Street is 3-floor building, and unlike it’s brand-stores in Prague, one of these floors was dedicated to running. There was simply everything I could ever dream of ;-). I ended up spending some ridiculous amount of money. I am now convinced that Nike makes the best apparel / accessories for runners (as for shoes — I’ll never stop using Asics) and as GBP is depreciating, it’s rather cheap to buy that stuff here.

Soton Docks

When it comes to history of Southampton, it’s quite impressive. As with any other major port-city, its function has certainly diminished, however it’s still a very important link in everyday’s life of tens of thousands of people.

And I as a photographer love it just because it provides me with a number of opoortunities to take amazing landscape pics :-).
