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.

2011 in Review

These are what happened on my second year of running. I finished my first marathon! I did it on Dec. 4, at the Quezon City International Marathon. I also did my first 6K, 16K, 21K and 32K. My goals for this year were to do a 21K and a marathon. DONE! I improved my personal bests on the 5K (0:33) and the 10K (1:16). I did a total of 14 races this year: 1 5K, 1 6K, 4 10Ks, 1 16K, 5 21Ks, 1 32K, and 1 42K I helped my wife finish a half marathon - something she said she would never do. I ended last year at 186 lbs. It didn't change this year. My waistline didn't change too. I thought that after training for and finishing a marathon, I would at least have a normal BMI. Oh well. I still have plantar fasciitis and for the first time I have a dead toenail (on my big toe; from my marathon). About my running gear: I retired my Mizuno Wave Elixir and Nike LunarGlide, and replaced them with the New Balance 870 and Nike LunarGlide 2. I bought 2 new Nike running shorts, 2 New Balance c

I'm Back ... to Day 1 Week 1

I haven't been running a lot lately because of my business travels overseas.  Then I got sick; then I traveled again; then worst of all, I hurt my back.  I didn't run at all for almost two months. My back is better now, but I don't feel fit at all.  I badly wanted to go back to running but I didn't want to risk injury.  So, I decided to become a beginner again and start at the very beginning - Day 1 Week 1 of the Couch to 5K program .  Today, I did a 5 minute walk, 1 minute run and 1.5 minute walk for 20 minutes, and then a 5 minute walk. I didn't get bored or anything and more importantly my back didn't hurt while I was running.  I was just glad I was outside running again.  I plan on going through the whole 2-month C25K program and am looking forward to joining a 5K soon after.
