Running Fashion?
heh heh
My very first time wearing my new shoes and to get familiar with it, I just ran around the carpark of my home. Put on my purple MPIB run t-shirt to match my purple shoes.
If it's just a short run (anything less than an hour and a half), I'd do a few loops around the apartment's carpark instead of having Zaini send me somewhere. Save petrol.
Weekday nights see me doing loops here too. Much safer than running out of the gates of the apartment. My neighbours and the security guards are all used to me already. Plus, there are actually more residents doing their run around the carpark nowadays too! :)
Anyway, doing loops here is easy. I can just stash my drinks somewhere and not need to carry it around with me. Plus, toilet is near!
New shoes. New running vest. First time wearing a S sized vest. Jamie, I didn't know I can wear an S! I was a bit worried when Jamie passed me the S-sized vest after the first session of GCAM training run at Lake Garden last Saturday, but the red vest fits perfectly! *super like*
FYI, I always go for size "L". o.O
Wore this get-up for a late morning, under-the-hot-sun run on Monday. The compression top-to-bottom wear is to prevent muscle fatigue while I'm doing my long-distance runs. It helps keep my body feeling dry too, as it wicks sweat away from my body and also, as I usually run during late mornings, it does get hot and this outfit help prevent too much "sun-tan" hahaha
One problem with wearing this though - people might actually think I'm a "proper" athlete. wakaka
p.s. you will not see me in this during road races. I usually just wear a comfy tights with my red/orange/pink vest. Normal. Harmless looking. ;p

aiyoyo, you surely is a fashionista in the running field lah~~ :p
ReplyDeleteeverything must match color one.. wearing purple shoes so the vest also must be purple.. then you should be buying shoes of all colors, so that you can match them with the bib and the vest with the organizer's official color~~
Deletegood lah.. you are setting the precedence and trend of running loops around the carpark in your apartment!! everyone is doing the same now, how nice, you are the pioneer!! mother of all runners of that apartment!! :D
DeleteS and L may not make a big difference lah, afterall those vest are mostly stretchable right?? so next time you take S, to be more fitting, so that you can show your sexy body mah~~ :D
Deleteaiyoh, that full set of running gear!! definitely looks like a professional sportswoman lah.. SP sure pancut looking at this~~ :D
DeleteI like red. My "ong" baju during road races are red.
DeleteAs long as my shoes got red/pink... I OK one. Can mismatch also. Lagi striking like that! Bwahaha
The carpark is getting crowded la pulak... Last time, it's only me. :(
Lina got taste lah. Need to look good to run good! If she wears horrible colours like shocking yellow with pink shoes and polka dotted shorts to run, I think she will fall inside longkang! Muahahaha
DeleteErrr Anay, those horrible colours you mentioned... I do wear them. :-D
Deleteyah la .. I also notice lina suka ong colour..
Deleteyou don't like green colour meh?
I like all colours but when I go to road races, I like to wear red. :-D
DeleteNever mind mismatch, ppl will think that's a new trend in town. I sometimes wear some odd and weird combination to stand out in the crowd.
DeleteGosh, I sound like mad woman.
No lah Ah Hua. You don't sound like a mad woman.
DeleteI do mismatch all the time. ;)
Piwitt ... kelasss!!
ReplyDeleteu are the one seduces your neighbour to run at carpark.. kan dah tegoda they ols.. hahaha..
Bet,
DeleteJom LSD carpark loop Bet. kekeke
Jamie dumped an XS on me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHe's making us happy with our "shrinking" size? kakaka
DeleteI think you have lost weight and shrunk!
Deletehahaha.... I WISH! :-)
Deletelina you jadi superman ke?
Deletecan only get s size baju?
ppl keep free baju to give to me, i take saja.. :-P
DeleteI recall that wifey and I ran around our old condo's compound but it was a bit small to our liking. Outside the anjings would chase her and not me! So we carried red umbrellas out. When you open them up, the dogs will be shocked of the red monster umbrella and cabut.
ReplyDeleteI used to be chased by dogs too. Not strays but pet dogs that are let loose by their owners. I really hate irresponsible dog owners and there seems to be a lit of them around. :-S
DeleteBring chocolate during your run and feed the dogs with it, nyek nyek.
DeleteWhat a waste of chocolates la Ah Hua.
DeleteBetter I eat them! LOL
Wah!!!! Like going swimming. Gone are the days of speedos and short running shorts...
ReplyDeleteWhere got gone? Ppl are still wearing them lah!
DeleteIts just that there are more clothing option now for us to choose. :-)
woww soo nice one your compression 2XU top and compression tight la Kak Lina... Running with full of style... Mmg stailo abes, kalo pakai macam nih during the running event sure ramai jejaka2 yg drooling over your curvaceous body figure... since S size suits u well... hehee...
ReplyDeleteNice matching all purple gears la Kak Lina... So that will be your training shoes la yer? the red pink striking shoes will only be used during your event... Awesome! :D
pki baju mcm ni, not to get anyone drooling. Dalah tema tu. But klu ada yg rasa "terbakar" nk bersaing... Itu I tatau la. Hahaha
Deletewhat...an hour and a half consider short run...pengsannnn
ReplyDeleteMe training for a marathon mah.
Deleteweekend long run now are >20km.
Weekdays need to do around 10km per run for "shorter" runs. :-D
My short run would be.... None, I never run before, LOL! I'll pengsan after 15 minutes of run.
DeleteRun slowly like me... won't pengsan one. :)
DeleteLOL....you sure are starting a new trend around your place. My place here also got people run but in the morning beofre 6 am la
ReplyDeleteGot a lot of uncles and aunties walking/running/jogging in my neighbourhood in the morning too. Usually start around 5.30am. :-)
DeleteMasa I nampak you dari jauh hari tu, memang my first thought was, "ohh that looks like a professional runner..first time nampak kat Putrajaya..." while glancing at my own attire dengan rasa sedikit segan. Bila angkat kepala, that runner sudah halang-halang jalan I hahaaa...but yea she was indeed a pro :D
ReplyDeletekahkahkah...
DeleteI pun masa nmpk you, I thought... Ooo another lady runner. Tak pernah nmpk (which is true also la kan, sbb we nvr bumped into each other on our weekend runs) Nak senyumla... :-D
Tup tup dah dkt sikit, I noticed that it's You! Tu yg excited blocked your way tu, sbb masa tu you were looking down. :-D
well I also feel that you look like a professional runner.. nice outfit..
ReplyDeleteGays mesti mau. Hahaha
Deletei am not a hardcore runner..
ReplyDeletemy shoes still can tahan until now.. I think 3 years ady..
As long as it's ok for you. :-)
DeleteFor us training a lot, shoes may affect whether we get more injuries also. My red Adida shoes that I bought last year has seen 300km as I normally do half marathon and above distance in them. ^_~
From a 'L' to a 'S"! Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty professional outfit for a jog. Thumbs up :)
Yup, a pro outfit for a two hour jog. ^_~
DeleteLina, I am like you , when I wear orange shoes, I must find an orange top to match. I love wearing proper attire when working out in the gym. Like that I feel more motivated to work out.
ReplyDeleteIt motivates us, right?
DeleteLook good and feel good. :)
You look like losing weight here. You look 100% like an athlete. You are actually one athlete, a genuine.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... gaya saja. Mutu tak ada.
DeletexD
Your Zaini is indeed great. He helps you to take all the pictures whenever you run.
ReplyDeleteHe was annoyed when I asked him to take the last photo. It may look like a candid shot but it is not. I had to ask him to retake the photo. TWICE. LOL
DeleteTaking my running photos is to help me see and improve my running form. All necessary for training, for me. And I guess I'm lucky Zaini doesn't mind that much to do it. :)
I've seen that butt before! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen your feet are working hard - running or hiking - you need the best shoes your money can buy. I hope this new pair will bring success and many smiles and no blisters. ^^
consider this butt shot post as a "going away and we'll miss you & please come back soon" present for you. ^_~
