1. Tops : cotton shirts, a couple of Nike DriFit tops, cheap racer-back tops
2. Bottoms: ONE Nike slim-fit pants, cheap jogging pants
3. Sports bras: cheap ones. They're like Php100 each. Yes, from Greenhills.

See the common denominator? "Cheap". I don't like spending on my gear because I'm already spending on gym membership and nutrition and, of course, my TIME. And with weight training, as long as my clothes fit nicely, I can lift properly. But today I learned that I should probably review my gear for running...
I already have the perfect shoes (a pair of Adizero's). I still don't have a second pair of shoes - everybody says I should have a second pair and change shoes every other day, etc. etc. I get the point. But this pair is new, so I'm still saving up a little and am looking for a good deal before my second purchase.
I don't have enough good quality running tops and pants. That seems OK... I realize that that only matters on long runs and I only have those long runs once a week. Unfortunately, on my most recent long run, I was blessed with rain, an hour and a half of rain... I ended up with
1. terribly chafed under the arms (on the arms, near the armpits, do you know that spot?) while I was wearing what I though was my best running top.
2. chafed chest; right in the middle of the boobs. Yep. Putting Neosporin and band-aid on that spot is extremely weird and funny and really, really sad. I never thought I'd "injure" that part of my body EVER.
For these, I was prescribed hydrocortisone cream. I applied it the same night and on the next day, the chafed spots looked much better. It says to clean the area, and then apply three to four times daily. I think I'd only have to do this for a total of three days.
I'm just happy my feet still look normal and I haven't lost a toe... yet.
