To Shop or Not to Shop...

That is the question.

I've got a small dilemma. With all this running going on, my clothes don't fit very well anymore. I've gotten rid of most of my ill-fitting shirts, only to discover that I have about 3 short sleeve shirts that are quickly turning into rags. And sadly my bras have either been trashed by nursing, or I look like I'm in serious denial about the size of my boobs...because when you shrink, you shrink everywhere! Even my skinny jeans look like I'm saggin' circa 1995.

I know, a girl should have such problems. If you're reading this, you're probably screaming at your computer wondering why I just don't go shopping for goodness sakes (and furthermore why am I complaining?). I mean, we're all looking for a good reason to shop, right. Well, let me introduce you to my dilemma.

The life cycle of my clothing is about 5-10 years. Yes. Seriously. So, if I go completely revamp my wardrobe now, that means I'm committing to staying in this shape for the next 5-10 years. Can I really do that? I'm training now for the Nike Women's Half Marathon, and will hopefully continue training into next year for the LA Marathon, so I'm confident I can make this happen for the next year, but what about beyond that? Am I really that committed to running?
