Best Answer chosen by Nike will win either a Nike waterbottle or bag. See you at Nike+ Human Race on 31 August 2008!

Answer 1

I have just started running the distance of 10km. Running for self satisfaction is one thing but running for a good cause is far greater than what personal satisfaction can bring. If to bring about this good cause all i have to do is RUN, then why not? The question is not why I do it. It's why you haven't. =) Good luck runners.

Answer 2

I am becoming a daddy next Jan, I want my child to have a fit daddy so that I can play with her all the time and not get physically tired. Doing this run will help me to keep a regular training thus becoming fitter ^_^

Answer 3

Of course the most important thing is to complete it  and this event is a worldwide one so it's special to be involve in such a massive event. Even thought this is not even a half marathon but kudos to Nike to organise some entertainment after the run. Really look forward to 31.08.08.

WILL YOU BE THERE?

Answer 4

Well, joining this competition would actually drive me to actually complete the race, giving that unbelievable surge of energy through me to complete the race, since a 10km human race isn't a race that will take a short time a complete, and needs lots of perseverance and stamina. Joining this competition would also be a test of how i fare in my perseverance and stamina, and how i fare among other athletes.

Answer 5

10K is a long-distance run.

I'll be running with a good friend, and both of us love to run, as well as also to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Besides wanting to keep fit and improve my stamina and endurance, I also want to remind myself of how lucky I am, being able to run with an abled body, and that I should be happy of who I am now.

All the best to everyone who's running! =)

Answer 6

hey guys,10km is not exactly a marathon which is 42.195km.  anyway its all about winning over yourself right... jia1you2!

Answer 7

Hahhhh..I want to complete 10Km below 1 hr.

Been to 2 runs, running behind ladies that are twice my size. I keep telling myself, if they can be ahead of me, I jolly well finish my races.

hehehe

Answer 8

Doing what's healthy, sportive & intriguing to prepare for a mass-participation event such as this HR10k has always been the intrinsic goal.

As for the actual event, i just wanna end up all spent! Physically & mentally exhausted so that another cycle can start again!

Answer 9

I liken every race to be life's milestone; constantly challenging oneself to be better and move to the next level. Running 10k is just a start of more challenges to come..longer distance, shorter time, faster pace. Joining the race motivates me to train harder and sharpen my mind to better achieve other goals in life.

Answer 10

I'm able to complete the race with the rest of the people of the world. In addition, I know that I've done agood deed by participating in this race. Also this is the first time such race was organised in my countery, Singapore. There have been many other races organised here. But this human race is the unique one.

Answer 11

Life's about goals else it will be boring so my wishlist:

1) Getting my gal to complete her first maiden 10k run

2) To train together with my gal

3) To hit my target of 40 mins

4) Aiming to be in top 100

For success! Cheers :P

Answer 12

To see the finishing line. It's always a personal challenge to know that i am able to start and finish a race well, even if I am not the winner.

The great scene of fulfillment to see the finishing line that I am able to completed what i have already started.  =)

Answer 13

Race. To respond to the inner-most voice in my heart- just do it! Run for it without hesitation! And just race it! Racing along with the thousands with the JUST DO IT attitude yet with a meaningful message of supporting charity. There's nothing like it so often in life- supporting charity with an attitude. The JUST DO IT attitude.

Answer 14

it's to push beyond my personal limit. To challenge myself to achieve the so-called impossible. like what they say "every great achievement was once considered impossible" i want the nike + human race to be my 1st great achievement. of coz, i want my 1st marathon to be the most memorable one, and this is just it. ((:

Answer 15

hmmm..for me is to push myself and to beat my personal best timing which have been idle for the past 5 years.

And this being the 1st ever human race and it will be great being a participant of thyis event and best still as a Singaporean....

Answer 16

The Girl I am chasing is also running.  She schedule is very busy.

And apart from a rare meal together.  We tend to meet while on Runs.

I.e The annual Marathon, during her recent Triathlon event, and Now Nike 10K run.

Fortunately, she is an average runner, thus able me to catch up with her.

Answer 17

I have never run such a lond distance before. In the Nike+ Human Race 10k, I hope to be able to be determine and don't give up till the end.

The human race marks an important milestone in my running lifespan. I was down with a bad ankle injury which left me with at least  two partial torn ligament and I have been rehabitating for a year. I have started running, gaining back my fitness and the Human Race is my first race coming back to running. And also, I am excited as I know I will be running with millions of people at the same time around the globe on the same day.  Awesome!

Answer 21

To prove to myself that despite all odds, i am able to live life and do things defined by my own sense of possibility, the way i am, attempting to find my limits, and savour the satisfaction in the moment when i can tell them that i have done it, and that they are wrong.

Answer 22

Come on this is the only chance to run along with the whole world. On top of that.... run in the name of charity, it is quite a meaningful race, something worth to support.

To hit personal best record. Reach in an hour!

Train up determination. Loose some weigh along the way. Get fit and get the good feeling after the race.

I love the energy in the atmosphere and excitement.

Answer 25

It's my first 10 Km competitive run.

Having ran 3 marathons and training for the fourth, this Nike+ Human Race 10k will be something memorable.

Never in history has humans run in such a large scale before!

Answer 30

My Goal is simply N.I.K.E

N - Never to quit, faint or fall flat in an unglamourous manner  

      during the race...if it had to happen, I'll make sure I go out  

      in style wearing my favourite Nike attire :)

I -   Inspire others to take part in race events and that age or  

      gender should never be a barrier

K - Keep up with the rest of the runners...or at least appear to

      be...

E - Enjoy the race, the atmosphere, the scenery and most

      importantly, Enjoy the post-race activities at the finish  

       point!
