I hate buying new pants

Today was my first day of running for distance as opposed to running for time. After my first 5k yesterday, with it being my longest run, I wanted to run a bit just to keep my legs from getting tight. My husband and I went out to Blanchard Park for, what was suppose to be a 2 mile run but ended up being 1.5 miles. It was pretty chilly, it was 48* with a nasty wind, so that is why we cut it short. He doesn't run, so he had to stop a few times but it was awesome to have him out there with me. I have no doubts that he will be outrunning me soon enough. Him being with me though made my pace about 30 seconds quicker which was pretty sweet.

We went to Old Navy today to buy a few things, I needed pants for work that were actually comfortable and not busting at the seems. That was one of the many reasons I started running, to lose the chub around my waist and hips. 6 weeks of running and it is still there. I guess since it took a couple of years to get there, I shouldn't expect it to go away in such a short amount of time. I will try to be patient.
