Running Attire Dilemma

Yesterday I was able to buy these Adidas Techfit compression shorts. They were 50% off at SM Megamall's Megatrade Hall. Even at 50% off, they are still expensive for shorts but at full price, I'll never get myself to buy one. I recently bought a pair of Nike running tights and liked running in them because it solved my problems of my running shorts bunching up at the crotch area and the shorts getting saturated with my sweat on longer runs and races (dri-fit is no match for my volume of sweat). So when I saw these compression shorts and read the "high-tech" stuff it's supposed to have and that it was half-priced, I bought it.

These shorts aren't for the conservative types and are quite "revealing." So, at home, I tried them on and showed it to my son. First with my training shorts over it and then without the training shorts. I asked him if I looked funny with the shorts over it. His curt reply was, "With shorts, you look ridiculous. Without shorts, you look disgusting. Seriously, are you going to wear that?!"

So, what will it be - Ridiculous or Disgusting? Seriously.

Goal!!! My First 5K - Century Tuna SuperBods Run 2010

I achieved my 2nd short term goal - to run a 5K race! The 1st was to run continuously for 30 minutes and I did that last Dec. 2009. It took a while to achieve this one because of my injury which prevented me from training in January and early Feb. But all that matters now is that I was able to do this. I'm not really sure about the time but it's probably between 45 to 50 minutes. My initial plan was to just run it as easy as one of my training runs but maybe because of the energy of the race and the crowd, I ran it a lot harder. I was spent at the end of the race. My heart monitor read only 17 seconds in Zone 1! Only 2 minutes in Zone 2! 5 minutes in Zone 3 and a whopping 38 minutes in Zone 4. Definitely a recipe for injuries and/or over-fatigue. I guess I'll just do races at most once a month or else I'll risk injury or over-fatigue. Aside from finishing, what's great is that I didn't re-injure my plantar fascia and even if I was really spent at the finish, I w...
