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.

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 :-).

Three 8s in one day ;-). What a special occasion to celebrate many things — from first day of 2008 Olympics to having another workweek over. If you fancy photography, you should definitely take a look at Flickr 888, which is a public group created for all Flickr users. Its purpose is to celebrate „another 24 Hours of Flickr – Flickr 888 on Friday, August 8th, 2008 (8-8-8!), a most auspicious day!“ All needed information about the group can be found here.

I’ve personally contributed with one picture of Southampton at night. Is was little post-edited in Photomatix in order to achieve more vivid and detailed contrast / shadows. I simply think it’s brilliant ;-).

This weekend, I’m planning to visit Isle of Wight tomorrow (it’s last day of Skandia Cowes Week, one of the biggest sailing events in the world). You bet there will be shitloads of photos uploaded by then ;-).
