Earlier this summer, I decided it was way past time to start morphing my fat, out-of-shape self.  I found a nice program called Couch to 5K that is really great for easing into running.  I'm up to running 2 miles now.  I know that doesn't sound like far to seasoned runners, but for someone that could not run to the mailbox prior to this program, it's quite a feat.

I left the house a while ago intending to go for a run, since today is my designated running day.  What I forgot as I left was that the pants I was wearing had lost their draw-string a long time ago.  This isn’t a problem when I’m just lounging around the house or walking.  When I stepped up into a jog, however, it became immediately obvious that my pants were much larger than they used to be and they definitely would not stay around my waist if I continued running.  So, in an effort to spare the neighborhood a lovely view of my crack, I turned what was supposed to be a semi-short sweat-inducing run into a longer and more relaxing walk.
