Rock n Roll Half Marathon!!!



After yet another week of no weight loss (in fact, I gained half a pound--grrrrrr!), I decided I needed to take drastic action. 

So today, I signed up for the Rock n Roll Half Marathon.  

Which, of course, meant  I had to start running again TODAY. 

No shopping for cute hide-the-bulging-belly-fat running outfits as an excuse to procrastinate.  Which, of course, meant that I had to squeeze into my one of my old running outfits.  It was tight, but I figured "Oh, what the heck! Maybe it'll provide me with motivation to lose the weight!" 

Uh. Yeah.......

Hopes and aspirations... meet... physics of fat physiology.  

As I'm running, the  T-shirt won't stay down over the belly bulge.  The pants won't stay up over the belly bulge.  So, I keep pushing one up and the other down, trying to figure out what position works best for maximum clothing coverage while running.  I figure out that it's holding my shirt down in front of me against my lower stomach so that the pressure from my hands also presses against my pants to hold them up.  Except now I look like I'm running.....to the bathroom :$ 

On the plus side...... I ran 2 miles!!!
