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.

Benefits of My Running

Last week, I registered for my first half-marathon of the Condura Skyway Marathon that will be held on Feb. 6, 2011. I went to Greenbelt 3 with my children. When one of my sons saw that the race kit said "21K", he exclaimed, "You're already going to run a half-marathon?!" I said "Yes." and waited for his next question, which was the question he asked when I told him that I was planning to join a 5K race, "Do you want to die?!" But no. He asked instead, "Can I have the 'dri-fit' shirt?" I then realized that this boy has also been benefiting from my running. He has been getting my race singlets and shirts (because they don't fit me). His favorite is the Mizuno Infinity Run finisher's shirt which he always uses when he runs. He also got my Nike Free Everyday 2 and Asics GT2130 running shoes. On the way out of Greenbelt 3, he asked for the free Hershey's chocolate bar. He's not getting the Coors Light. Tha

Milestone! 1st 10K All Run, No Walk Breaks! Takbo.ph Runfest 2010

Yesterday's race at the Takbo.ph Runfest 2010 was a milestone for me. I ran my 10K race all the way from start to finish. It was my 7th 10K since I started running last Dec. '09. The previous 6 were all Galloway method run-walk-run affairs. The following are the things I thought helped me achieve this: The weather was nice and cool The course was relatively flat Water stations were excellent. They provided Powerade - my favorite. A teenager (Sid) decided to run alongside me a little after 6 km. We ran side-by-side until the finish line. I now run continuously for 45 minutes to an hour, although even slower now than when I was doing run-walk-run. I'm doing low heart rate training . I wonder what I'll be able to do next ...
