I enjoy ...

1) buying presents for myself using my own money.
2) waiting patiently for the packages to come my way.
3) ripping apart the packages containing my goodies.

Yay! I ordered my first Nike tempo shorts since it seems like many runners have them. I read some reviews and heard that it doesn't ride up.  So, today, I wore my Nike tempo shorts and gave it a whirl at the YMCA.

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill, which took about 31:11 minutes. It was all right. I probably should have held back a little at the beginning, instead of going kinda all the way out. I started the first 2 miles at about a mid 9:00/mile pace, and had to slow down for the 3rd mile. I had to stop the treadmill to catch my breath. 

Now, about those tempo shorts. They feel light and fit well. About the not riding up, I'm not too sure about it. It doesn't really ride up badly like the Champion pair I owned, it does ride up a little but not too badly. So, I'm gonna sit on the fence on the riding up part. Maybe I just have thunder thighs ...

Anyway, have a good weekend!

  8. My tempos ride up. I get the dreaded running shorts diaper. Which is why I run in under armor compression shorts or a skirt.
