NikePlus Race for unfit Twitter Users…

by eunmac on May 13, 2009

You know it makes sense… All that tweeting isn’t shaving any cm off the love-handles is it? OK, this is just a bit of fun… but at the same time if you can run 5km you’ll probably feel a bit better no matter what the time!

The Rules:
- 1 month – finishes on 14 June
- Open to all people who are unfit and on Twitter.
- No Treadmills – get outside!
- Open to international
- 1st Prize = Pride!

Instructions
- You’ll need an ipod/nano/touch and a Nike+ Sensor (they cost about AU$30)
- The challenge is here – you just need to sign in.

If I can get off my backside and run, there must be a couple of other people up for it?

You’re on.

I’ll be logging routes through the north coast of Brazil, then Buenos Aires, then Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Surely there’s a prize for most obscure, exotic scenery observed along the way. 5kms of Andean mountains is going to kill me, let alone doing it fast :)
