Went shopping for black pants yesterday. ugh. I do not enjoy shopping for clothes, really. Good news is I am down a size and also, when I got home I tried on the several pair that were in the ‘too small’ section of my closet, and almost all of them fit or almost fit. That was a nice surprise, since some of them still have price tags on them.
Next challenge is to get them shortened. I would like to chat with the person who decided that as women’s hips get wider, their legs get longer.Every pair I have has at least 4 inches of extra length, one pair has 8″!!. So the average size 12 is 6′ tall??
I am very happy to report that I have reached my goal of being able to run for 5km without requiring a trip to the ER. Yesterday I ran the 5km loop of the hiking trail, and I could have kept going, but instead I walked the second loop for a total of 10km in one hour and 27 minutes. (I never claimed I was speedy, just persistent.) My legs are sore but not crippled… I am completely and utterly proud of myself.
later..instead of walking today I did 14.4km on the bike, in 55 minutes, so again, not speedy but consistent.

You’re right on the pants thing…
