Finally did a long run in my 2XU tights and also the running tee for standchart on the sunday morning at 6am.. in case most of u don't know.. i.. erm.. made an error in selecting the correct size for my running tee.. why do they always have to keep on changing the sports apparel sponsor which has different sized cutting for its sizes..?!?! And so according to the measurements given on the website.. i took an -- XS..

Goddamn it's tight..!! i don't mind the running tee tight.. but the size given is also the same for the finisher tee..!! OMG..!! Hope the shirt won't be that bad.. and also wat i really hope for.. is that they allow a change.. goddamn..

Note to self: always choose S-M size for anything and everything.. it's okay to be abit small and abit big. but not TIGHT..!!

anyways.. did my final long run before standchart.. did it with the gear that i'll be putting on for the actual day.. and Runner's World's advice is so true -- try to have a long run with the gear that you'll be wearing for race day..
several things happened..

firstly, the 2XU tights were great.. i don't know how but they just felt great..
secondly, the tightfit standchart shirt isn't that bad.. i think if it's a bit bigger, i could have gotten some abrasions in the armpit region. Plus it's an Asics running singlet, the technology is supergreat. I don't feel the shirt clingy to me when it's soaked with my perspiration and it feels rather smoothly cool on the skin instead.. Think i'm gonna buy several in future.. and the size isn't so bad..
thirdly, the running belt i wore took some adjustments to find a suitable spot where it just stayed there without revolving around my waist.. u know those belts that have tiny bottle compartments and bottles on them..? yeah..i bought one.. and i found a nice spot to put it around my waist..
fourthly, my ITB acted up again.. think it's due to my increased mileage.. i plan to incorporated more walk breaks to allow my ITB to recover before i pound the pavement again.. so i plan to take a walk break at every drink station.. yeah. that sounds good.. and that's my running strategy for standchart..

but now i've got the sniffles..!! aacckkk..!!! *sniff*
