shaved or not?

there are rumors that real men shave their legs.


in high school, i had a classmate who was part of the track team and he said they were somewhat required to shave their legs in order to be faster. this i am not sure how the leg hairs affect their speed.

in biking, the same thing has been rumored to be true. i have read from a veteran biker's recount on this concept.

it has been a long time since my leg was "shaved," and the time i  had my legs shaved was not because i "wanted" to go faster. it was because they needed to.

why?
this was taken a long long time ago, 2004 to be exact.

well actually, my leg was not shaved literal, it was my knee area. given that i'm into this biking thing, and is still new with the cleats, i still have tendencies to fall/ semplang, and one of the most-hit area are my knees, or legs. 
 
now it seems more logical too, to shave my legs for a faster, easier tocino cleaning :)
check out their legs,smoothly shaved!

hmmmm, now i'm thinking, shave or not?

does this also cause drag in my swim? hahahahaha

ayot? apir!

    Track and field players shave? Now that is a first.

    I know swimmers shave, and this is to reduce drag/ resistance to the water.

    Hmm....

why do i hate mizuno

Mizuno sucks. BIG TIME. yup. you read that right. why? point #1: they are not a mainstream brand. mainstream in a sense that they don't even ha ve well-known product endorsers unlike other sports brands around the world. i mean, how can they expect their products to sell like pancakes if the y're like that diba? point #2: they do not promote much of themselves. not much print ads if you'd ask me. i work in a magazine publishing company and i don't see mu ch of their products splashed all over our magazines. i don't see them havi ng television ads too. not even in the newspapers does mizuno have anything that will lead people to buy their products. point #3: the products are not that "fashionable." as compared to other "mainstream" brands, you won't see you r regular juans and marias weari ng mizunos together with their jeans to the office. you don't see them usually wearing mizuno s when they go around the malls, walking, shopping, chilli

people say that it's painful when you do it for the first time. a lot of my friends have done it way ahead before me.  people have been telling since mid-2009 that i should already try to do it.  i've always thought of doing this when i feel I'm ready for it, to commit to it.  I didn't want to do something I would eventually regret. doing this entails responsibility, and commitment, and would be really time-consuming.   let's begin with the end when i started seriously running at last year's Condura Run, I never imagined thinking of ever running a full marathon in the near future. after that condura run, i started training for 10K races, then slowly leveling up to having LSDs and 15K and 10milers, and eventually had my first half marathon at Botak Paatibayan in May 2009. during that race, i witnessed how a not so "well-organized" full marathon that packed up everything way before the "cut-off" when the race didn't even have a cut-o
