I'm fascinated by the attire that people wear to go exercise. Now, I'm not talking about the parents who decided to take their kids to the park after going out to eat or something, I'm talking about the adult female who wears long jean shorts (ya know, the kind that are tight through the thigh and stop right above the knee) with a belt and their ipod strapped to their arm and do laps around the park - WHAT THE?!?!? Even better is the older couple where the wife is wearing her matching 2 piece, fuchsia, velour sweat suit she's had since 1982 complete with the gaudy gold bangle bracelets and charm necklace and her husband is wearing khaki dress pants with a button down shirt and sneakers to walk in. I just don't get it. Then there's also always one or two in the group of guys playing soccer who are in nice jeans and a nice top and are chasing after a ball and getting grass stains on their nice clothes - WHY?
Now, I'm no fashionista, you can typically find me in a dingy pair of sweatpants where the crotch is halfway to my knees and smattered with paint from household project accompanied by an equally distressed t-shirt I got for free by participating in some event... but at least it's worthy of sweat. I have realized that I do need to get some more work-out clothes, the low crotch sweatpants aren't flying with the chub-rub... I don't want to break out in a rash between my legs from sweat and friction. The struggle comes into play because I know I'll be losing weight and I'd hate to buy some gym clothes that are falling off me in a couple of months... part of me would rather take the risk of getting the chub-rub-rash.
None the less... come to Heritage park in Canton and you'll see my fashionably challenged ass walking the paths over and over again and if you come often you'll start to see less of me. Ha Ha!

yup. i see it too. i wear a pair of the men's boxer briefs under skirts and stuff to prevent chub rub. they're inexpensive and come in a pack of like 4- so you don't feel guilty about buying em.
(oh, and i just got a few new pieces of workout wear from filene's basement... they had a great selection... and it was less expensive than sports authority...)
you ROCK!!
