Ran outside today.  Experienced the wardrobe malfunction that is customary for me when I run in the winter:  shirts too short and pants that do not sit at my waist, and thus always feel like they are falling down. 

I hate the fashion industry.  Do any women really fit in clothes made for women?  I am long-legged, long-torsoed and high-waisted.  "Tall" pants have a longer inseam, but a shorter rise.  This makes no sense to me.  Why would a tall person's waist be lower in relation to the crotch than a short person?  I'm sure this is done so that tall pants and regular pants use the same amount of fabric.

Anyway, I solved my problem by tucking my inside shirt into my underwear and hiking my pants up.  Sure it made my ankles cold, but it worked out okay.  I just have to remember that I shouldn't look in the mirror before I leave for winter running.
