My Run and a Bum Bum
So this morning I ran 12 miles for my marathon training. It was quite the mental run. It was 56 degrees and I was on my own. I had a couple interesting discoveries. First, other runners singing out loud to their music is incredibly annoying at 6:20 in the morning. Wear more than a short sleeved shirt in cold weather. Always get out of bed even when you really don't want to, it's always worth it in the end. Finally I have a "what would you do" question for everyone. I was coming up on two women running when I noticed one of them had something on her butt. As I got closer and was trying to figure out what it was, I realized it was a nice, round spot, smack in the middle of her pants that was worn through. I was literally looking at her butt crack. I mean I could totally see it all, it was that bad. In my head I was thinking.. "how could you not notice that when you put your pants on" I mean really I just couldn't see how you could miss it because it was sooo see through. So I was debating whether to say anything to her about it. Do I say, "excuse me but your butt is showing","excuse me I can totally see your butt crack through your pants", "there's a worn through spot on your pants and you can see through them" there just wasn't an easy way of pointing it out. Plus I didn't want to embarras her more in front of other people. Then I thought well maybe she knows she has this huge see through spot on her butt but she couldn't afford another pair of pants or she didn't have another pair clean or some kind of excuse that forced her to have to wear them. I decided to not say anything but I am thinking I should have told her, I mean wouldn't you rather have someone tell you these things, and even if she already knew that it was there she would have expected someone was going to say something. I just really hope she has discovered it and that she can get a new pair of pants, if she couldn't have afforded them I would have totally gone to Walmart and bought her some because no one should have to run with their butt showing. What would you have done in my situation? I hate akward things like that. Maybe I'll see her next week and I'll check out her butt.

That is too funny! I *think* I would want someone to tell me. But, how embarrassing! I would have thought about it, but I don't think I would have gone through with actually telling her. I don't know! If you see her bum bum again, I'd take it as a sign to tell her for sure! :)
I would rather have a stranger tell me than someone I knew and saw every day. I would just say "you have something on your shorts" and let her discover it for herself! Then your conscience can be clear and it's up to her on what to do next.
PS WAY TO GO on all your running success! I'll bet you are looking like one hot mama! :)
bahaha... I wouldn't say anything but that is just me. She'll figure it out eventually. Way to go on your running. I am running 5K October 24.
Oh, my goodness! I'm glad that I missed out on that fun yesterday! I would hope that if it was my bum that someone would say something! I'm going to at least make the effort to check my shorts for any flaws from now on. That actually happened to me the other day at the zoo. This prego lady dug out her thong through her very sheer leggings and not quite long enough shirt--right in front of me! I don't thing she saw me there, but still! The animals are not the only gross things at the zoo! Good job on the run though!
HA..HA..HA.. Way to go girl you ROCK!!!First of all it gives you incentive to pass her and when you do I would have said " boy it's breezy out here today"
