Closet Catastrophe!

So, I FINALLY started switching my winter clothes with my summer clothes and this is a HUGE deal and usually takes an entire weekend to do. Why am I writing about this in my running blog? Because of this. Yeah. I have no trouble praising myself or noticing how great I look and how muscular I am. I guess I never thought this would translate into me having to buy new clothes. NONE of my jeans FIT...and not in a good way, like "oh I lost two sizes!" No, like I can't pull my jeans all the way up. Bill attributes this to thigh muscles. My shirts that I can't pull down he attributes to back muscles. This one I couldn't buy. I don't really have back muscles. He then moves his arms back and forth like he's running and tells me that all the training has GOT to give me back muscles even if I don't notice them.

So we went to the mall and now I understand the whole 'oh ha ha ha, it takes women 30 years to find a pair of jeans'. I didn't even go to the juniors department where I usually go, because I have come to the conclusion that although I am thin, I also have things like hips. I tried on pair after pair of "mom jeans". Ugh.

I came to the conclusion that this is my problem (which is probably the problem of a gazillion other women athletes) long legs but not a lot of width, slender hips, tiny butt, muscular thighs (well, and for me, a little pooch that I cannot get rid of...so, no low rise for me...but no "mom jeans" either!)I told Bill there needs to be an "athletic" fit. If I were a fashion designer, I would make them.

I finally ended up at Lucky Jeans, paying more than I wanted to, but at least they look ok. Running is getting to be expensive.
