Million Dollar Runner
Duluuuuuu banget, kita diajarin bahwa lari itu olahraga murah dan mudah. But now we know, IT IS NOT! When running is becoming lifestyle, competitive sports, medal-collecting, the-cool-way-of-selfie, ajang-nyari-jodoh ……….. apparently it’s NOT easy, and it’s NOT cheap as well.
When I started running years a go, it seems so simple with wearing just my regular gym shoe, gym boxer and the gym compression shirt. But then,……….. there are lots of fashionable and sporty running gear out there!
Gym boxer is not enough… let’s buy compression running [yang bilang: stocking, tampar!].
2XU jadi terlalu mainstream…. then I bought “rufskin” [Yup! Rufskin jeans yang super sexy itu ternyata ada compression running legging-nya!!!!!!!!!]
Sepatu maunya pake yang running-specific-design yang susa nyarinya di dalam negeri.
Kaos kakinya yang anti-blister.
Water bottle beli khusus, harus yang bisa sekalian nyimpan kunci-duit-HP juga.
BIB belt khusus, gak keren kan pake peniti?
Dan status sosial ditentukan oleh GPS watch!
So, let’s face it…. despite the need to run faster and injury-free, we all want to look fashionable on the street. Well, at least I do! I mean, kalo bisa lari sambil gaya, kenapa nggak? Haha…

For me, buying the branded-and-definitely-not-cheap running gear is investment. Dulu, gue pernah cidera karena lama pakai sepatu yang ternyata bukan buat lari, lalu cidera lagi karena pakai sepatu lari yang gak cocok dengan running-form gue [kalo ini, emang salah gue sih…. beginner’s fault”], jadi gue emang butuh running gear yang “lebih serius”.
And, since this running activity is transformed from just a hobby to lifestyle and further more to “things I want to do before I die”,… gue emang harus invest beli running gear yang “lebih serius“.
I need to keep record of my running, so having GPS watch is a must.
I have problem with blister di sana-sini …. jadi kaos kaki anti-blistes harus pake.
Lari gue agak napak belakang, jadi harus beli sepatu yang sol-nya tinggi to force a better running form
Pake arm band buat naruh HP bikin lengan gue biang keringat, jadi harus beli running belt. Lagian, kan gue harus bawa kunci apartemen biar aman dan gak jatuh, bawa duit buat beli minum di jalan?

But as for my Rufskin compression…… well, yang ini emang buat gaya!!!
